These turkey burgers are juicy, flavorful, and easy to prepare, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the rack in the center.
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve the desired texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, red wine, soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce, mustard, and marjoram. Mix gently until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender and juicy.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Ensure the skillet is hot enough to sear the patties properly.
Place the patties in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.
Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (74°C).
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the patties are cooked through without overcooking.
Serve the turkey burgers warm with your favorite sides and toppings.
Consider serving with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
