Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the ground turkey, egg, black beans, diced red bell pepper, mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder. Season generously with salt and pepper. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form into patties, ensuring the mozzarella is well-encased within each patty to prevent leakage during cooking. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the skillet to prevent sticking. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Carefully place the turkey patties in the hot skillet. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes per side, or until the patties are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). If desired, add extra mozzarella to the top of each patty during the last minute of cooking. (14-20 minutes)

05

Step

Remove from skillet and serve immediately on your favorite buns with desired toppings.

For extra flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the turkey mixture.
To prevent the patties from sticking, ensure the skillet is well-heated before adding them.
Serve on a toasted brioche bun with a smear of pesto aioli, fresh tomato slices, and crisp lettuce for an unforgettable burger experience.
