Turkey Meatloaf Burgers

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground turkey
• 1.33 cups seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 small onion - grated , and juice drained
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons applesauce
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 hamburgers buns , split

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. 2

   Mix the turkey, bread crumbs, onion, eggs, applesauce, chili powder, paprika, and kosher salt in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Divide mixture into 8 equal portions, then shape into patties.

3. 3

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange the patties in the skillet and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Place the browned patties on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Transfer the patties to a 9x13-inch baking dish.

4. 4

   Bake the turkey burgers in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve the turkey burgers on the hamburger buns.
