Ingredients Needed:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean) or ground turkey (90 percent lean)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 4 slices cheese (optional)
- 4 hamburger buns, split; toasted, if desired
How To Make Perfect Burger Recipe?
- Make Patties: Divide the meat into 4 equal portions about 170g each. Shape each into a patty and press a thumbprint in the center. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Burgers (Grill Method): Preheat the grill to high. Brush patties with oil. Grill beef for 3 minutes per side, or turkey for 5 minutes per side.
- Cook the Burgers (Pan Method): Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Cook beef for 3 minutes per side, or turkey for 5 minutes per side.
- Add Cheese (optional): Add cheese during the last minute of cooking. Cover to melt.
- Assemble: Place burgers on buns and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips:
- Don’t Overwork the Meat: When forming the patties, handle the meat gently to avoid tough burgers.
- Use a Thumbprint: Press a thumbprint in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
- Season Well: Make sure to season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper for full flavor.
- Cook to Your Preference: For beef, cook 3 minutes per side for medium-rare; turkey needs to be fully cooked, around 5 minutes per side.
- Let the Cheese Melt: If using cheese, cover the burgers during the last minute of cooking to help them melt perfectly.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the burgers cool to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Wrap the burgers in plastic or foil, then place them in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.
- Reheat: Heat a pan with a little oil and cook the burgers for 2-3 minutes on each side.
