Turkey burgers, while delicious, can be challenging to cook properly. Because turkey is fairly lean, it tends to dry out quickly when cooked. Luckily, we’ve figured out an easy way to ensure that a turkey patty will retain its moisture when you pop it on the grill—simply add a dollop of Cabot Cabot Lowfat Plain Greek Yogurt to the ground-up turkey. The end result is tasty and moist! Our recipe makes six servings, making it a perfect dish to serve up at barbecues or family get-togethers. After trying our burger recipe, please share the recipe with your friends and family on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter or Instagram.


When made properly, a good turkey burger can be truly delectable. To make the turkey cheeseburgers, you’ll need 1.5 pounds of ground turkey, a half cup of Cabot Lowfat Plain Greek Yogurt, Worcestershire sauce, half teaspoon ground red pepper, a shallot, Cabot Habanero Cheddar, six whole wheat hamburger buns, sliced avocado, baby spinach, and sliced tomatoes. When adding all of the ingredients together, don’t forget to toss in plenty of yogurt—this will help the patties to retain moisture. You can use the leftover yogurt as a sauce for the patties too.
