Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your Gobbler Burgers, consider adding finely chopped onions or bell peppers to the mixture. If you don’t have onion soup mix, try using a combination of dehydrated onions and your favorite seasoning blend. For a gluten-free option, substitute plain dry bread crumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I grill these turkey burgers instead of microwaving them?
Yes, you can definitely grill the Gobbler Burgers! Preheat the grill to medium heat and cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. This will give them a nice char and enhance their flavor.
What can I use instead of ground turkey?
If you prefer a different protein, ground chicken or lean ground beef can be used as substitutes in this recipe. Each option will offer a slightly different taste and texture, but they will still work well with the other ingredients.
Can I make these burgers ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the burger mixture and shape the patties in advance. Store them in the refrigerator for up to a day before cooking. For longer storage, freeze the uncooked patties, separating them with parchment paper, and cook them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the microwave time.
