Ingredients

½ cup Panko breadcrumbs Regular or oatmeal may be used instead
½ cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
¼ cup green onion thinly sliced
⅓ cup mango chutney
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground turkey breast
Optional rolls and toppings for serving

Instructions

Add breadcrumbs, shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced green onions, mango chutney, salt, and pepper to a large bowl and mix well.
Add ground turkey to the bowl and fold in the binder mixture until evenly distributed throughout the meat. Don't overmix or the cooked burgers will be tough.
Divide and shape the mixture into six patties about half an inch thick. Slightly indent the center of each patty on the top.
Note: Use ½ cup of the meat for a standard-sized burger. Use ¼ cup of meat for sliders.

To Bake

Preheat oven and baking sheet to 350°F.
Place patties on a baking sheet coated with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Flip with a spatula halfway through the cooking time so that both sides brown.

To Grill

Grill over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side.
Glaze with leftover mango chutney. Serve with your favorite condiments and a bun, if using.

Top Tips:

Combine all the other ingredients before combining with the ground turkey. It seems like a minor thing. But by mixing these ingredients first, it is easier to evenly distribute them in the ground turkey without handling it too much.
Don't work the turkey any more than necessary. Too much handling makes for a tough turkey burger!
For a uniformly flat burger, gently make an indentation with two fingers in the center of each patty on one side. This allows the center to rise without creating a dome.
Preheat the sheet pan at the same time as the oven so the burgers sizzle when you start the cooking process.

Storage and Make-Ahead:

Leftovers: Store leftover mango chutney turkey burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for about 2 months. Reheat in the microwave at 30-second intervals at 50% power or until heated through. Depending on the number, it will take 2-3 minutes. Flip halfway through and glaze with additional mango chutney if it's available.

Make-Ahead: Prepare patties and place in a single layer (until frozen solid) in a freezer-safe bag, removing excess air. Label and store in the freezer up to two months. When ready to cook, thaw in the refrigerator overnight, then cook as usual.
