The Tuscan Turkey Burger, a simple and delectable choice for your grill or stovetop, offers a burst of Italian-inspired flavors, making it a delightful addition to your burger repertoire.
I crave a juicy burger constantly.
Whenever I was pregnant with Charlie that’s all I wanted. A big juicy burger with cheese stuffed between a brioche bun. Oh, and let’s not forget the plate of fries too.
Some of my favorites that I like to make on the fly are Summer Guacamole Burger, Spiced Chicken Burgers with Special Sauce, and Lamb Burger with Frites!
Honestly, you can’t go wrong with a burger which is why I’m adding another one to the arsenal. This Tuscan Turkey Burger is a new fav and is bursting with flavor. GAH! The Tuscan butter sauce adds an extra level of indulgence to these simple burgers.

What’s in this Tuscan Turkey Burger?
This burger kind of sounds a bit complicated, but let me tell you that it is quite simple to put together. Other than forming patties, the secret to this burger is the sauce which takes only a few minutes to whisk together. Okay, you will need:
Ground Turkey
Panko or regular Italian breadcrumbs
Butter
Tomato paste
Heavy cream
Parmesan
Fresh basil
Brioche buns
Tips to make these Tuscan Turkey Burgers:
1) Ground turkey. Any time you make burgers you always want the meat to come to room temperature before you assemble the patties. This will help make forming of the burger patties easier, but will also ensure they cook evenly too.
2) Tuscan butter sauce. While the burgers rest for a minute is when I would start making the sauce. This way when you add it on top of the burger it’s warm and delicious.
3) Grill or Stovetop. Either form of cooking will work with these burgers! Just make sure to cook over high heat.
Do you have to use turkey?
Nope! You can certainly substitute the turkey for ground beef, pork, chicken, or lamb!
What’s the best temperature to cook the turkey burgers?
The turkey burgers will be done when a thermometer inserted into the patties reaches 165 degrees!
What sides do you recommend serving alongside?
Just about anything! I have so many options that you should take a look around our side dish section!
