    Make juicy Mango Chutney Turkey Burgers in the oven or on the grill! Either way, they have incredible flavor and hold together to the very last bite. A bun is optional!

    These extraordinary ground turkey burgers are a close cousin to our Turkey Meatloaf Muffins which are spiced with salsa. Either way, the secret is in the sauce!

    If you've had one that needed to be loaded down with condiments to mask the bland flavor, then you're in for a pleasant surprise. 

    For the sake of the picture, I used a bun. I also slathered a dollop of mango chutney and a few green onions on top of the patty.

    Meanwhile, my photography assistant (aka darling daughter #2) and the Chief Grilling Officer (aka my hubby) were gobbling down these ground turkey burger sliders au naturel.

    No bun is necessary! Just add a salad and enjoy...which cuts down on the carbs if that's your goal.

    Ingredients in Mango Chutney Turkey Burgers

    • Ground turkey - If it's made from turkey breast it will be leaner. Dark meat will be more flavorful and also have more fat.
    • Prepared mango chutney - buy it or check out this Homemade Mango Chutney by Simply Recipes. 
    • Panko breadcrumbs - or oatmeal to keep this recipe gluten-free
    • Mozzarella cheese - shredded
    • Green onion - thinly sliced. Other types of onions, such as Vidalia onions or red onion also taste nice in this recipe.
    • Salt
    • Pepper

    Top 3 Tips

    The process to make these burgers is quite similar to making meatloaf since the ingredients are mixed into the ground turkey. Just add all the ingredients to a bowl, mix, and shape into patties.

    Tip: Combine all the other ingredients before mixing in the ground turkey. It seems like a minor thing. But by combining these ingredients first, it is easier to evenly distribute them in the ground turkey.

    Tip: Don't handle the turkey any more than necessary. Too much handling makes for a tough turkey burger!

    Don't you just love the blue gloves? They are a holdover from my days at the meal preparation store.

    Tip: For sliders, shape the meat into ¼ cup sized patties. You will end up with about 12 smallish burgers. Of course, you can shape the meat mixture into any sized burgers. You can even press the meat into a meatloaf tin as we do for Easy Chicken Meatballs.

    Grilling Instructions

    I absolutely love grilling because dinner truly becomes a family affair. While the CGO is grilling away, the girls and I focus on sides and, of course, dessert. 🙂

    Small turkey burger sliders only take about 2 minutes to cook on each side over medium heat on a grill. The meat should not be pink in the middle and should reach an internal temperature of 165 °F. Larger patties will take a few minutes longer to cook through.

    These burgers also cook nicely on a George Foreman grill. (Yes...we do have a lot of appliances around here!) Total cook time is only about 2 minutes and there is absolutely no grease (and no mess)  if you use ground turkey from breast meat.

    How to Cook Turkey Burgers in the Oven

    Bake turkey burgers in a 350 °F oven. Place shaped turkey burgers on a baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. 

    Cook for about 20 minutes, flipping the burgers half-way through so that both sides brown a little. Check the internal temperature the same as you do for grilling to ensure that it is safely cooked.

    Make-Ahead and Freeze Instructions

    Mango Chutney Turkey Burgers are ideal to make ahead and freeze! You don't need to cook them first either.

    Shape the turkey meat mixture into patties of the desired size. Freeze them in a covered and tightly wrapped tin. You can also transfer them to a plastic bag that seals once they are frozen solid. Defrost completely before cooking.

    Cooked burgers can also be stored in the freezer and microwaved when you are ready to eat one.

    Choose your condiments wisely and pick a healthy, whole grain bun too and you've got a healthy turkey burger that happens to be very delicious too!

      This recipe was great! I had to make it gluten free and the choice of oats made them dry. But luckily I always test cook a tiny amount so I added more chutney (my homemade) and a good drizzle of avocado oil and that fixed that. Maybe next time I'll use some cooked quinoa...that would bump up the protein too. This is definitely a keeper because I've been stumped finding a good chutney/turkey burger recipe to use it up until now. Your recipe is so much better than the Mar-a-Lago one, thank you for posting it! Now I've got to get busy and look at the other yummy recipes you've got here. It is nice to 'meet' you!

        I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Quinoa sounds like an amazing substitution to make it gluten-free.
