Introduction

The holidays are a time for family and friends. And what better way to enjoy both than with turkey burgers? If you want to make some turkey burgers for the big day, you need to know how long it takes for them to cook. Luckily, there’s an easy answer: about five minutes! All you have to do is use these handy guidelines below and you’ll be cooking up all kinds of delicious turkey burger goodness in no time at all!

A 1 pound turkey burger should take about 10 minutes to cook on the stove top.

There are a few things to keep in mind when cooking your turkey burger.

• The size of the burger will affect cooking time. A 1 pound turkey burger should take about 10 minutes to cook on the stove top, but this will vary depending on how thick it is and how hot your burner is set at. If you want to check doneness with a meat thermometer, insert it into the center of the patty before flipping–it should read 150 degrees F (65 degrees C).
• Don’t over-crowd or press down on your turkey burgers while they’re cooking! This will prevent them from getting crispy and developing those delicious browned bits around their edges. Also make sure that there’s enough room between each patty so they can brown evenly without sticking together or burning before being fully cooked through inside-out deliciousness within each bite means nothing if there isn’t any moisture left behind after grilling time has passed!

A 1/2 pound turkey burger should take about 8 minutes to cook on the stove top.

• Cooking times for larger burgers will increase proportionately with size.
• Timing is important, don’t overcook or undercook.
• Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 165 F for white meat, 180 F for dark meat (if the turkey burger contained both). You can also cut into it with a knife and check that there’s no pink left inside. If you’re using an instant-read thermometer, make sure to insert it into the thickest part of your patty; otherwise, you might get inaccurate results!
• Don’t use a grill–it will dry out the meat and give it an undesirable char flavor.

A 1/4 pound turkey burger should take about 6 minutes to cook on the stove top.

A 1/4 pound turkey burger should take about 6 minutes to cook on the stove top. We recommend cooking your turkey burgers in a non-stick pan over medium heat, flipping them once during cooking. For added safety, use a spatula to flip your burger and check doneness using a meat thermometer (the center of the patty should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit).

A 1/8 pound turkey burger should take about 5 minutes to cook on the stove top.

1/8 pound turkey burgers will take about 5 minutes to cook on the stove top. Larger burgers will require more time, but as a general rule of thumb, you can expect to wait around 5 minutes for each 1/2 inch in thickness.

Cooking times also depend on how hot your pan is and what kind of heat source you’re using–I recommend using medium-high heat for most stovetop cooking tasks because it gives you some wiggle room if something starts cooking faster or slower than expected.

The oven method isn’t ideal for making turkey burgers unless you have an extremely large oven (which most people don’t). If this is your best option, preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before placing patties directly onto an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet; then cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit with no more than 10 minutes per side (check after 5 minutes).

Cooking times for larger burgers will increase proportionately with size.

The cooking time for larger burgers will increase proportionately with size. The cooking time for smaller burgers will decrease proportionately with size.

For example, if you have a 4-ounce turkey burger and you want to know how long it will take to cook it, use the following formula:

4 x 3 = 12

12 minutes at 350 degrees F/175 degrees C

Turkey burgers are easy and quick to make, but they’re also not as healthy as other types of burgers, so watch your portions!

Turkey burgers are a great option for those who want to eat healthier, but still enjoy the taste of a burger. They’re high in protein and low in fat, but they don’t have as many of the health benefits that other types of meat provide.

For example, beef is a good source of zinc and iron–two nutrients that help you stay energized throughout the day (and especially after your workout!). Ground chicken also has these nutrients, plus it contains less cholesterol than turkey does.

Conclusion

These turkey burgers are delicious and easy to make. They’re also not very healthy, so make sure you don’t overdo it! If you want to make your burgers healthier, try adding some vegetables like spinach or onions into them before grilling them up.
