Easy Peasy Turkey Burgers with a Zesty Twist


Weeknight chaos? We’ve all been there. When you’re juggling a million things and dinner still needs to happen — enter: these ridiculously simple, flavor-packed turkey burgers. They’re healthy, hearty, and come together with just a handful of staples (plus a little love from our favorite Saltery blends).

These aren’t your average burgers — they’re topped with our fresh and tangy Zesty Chickpea Salad and served over a bed of fluffy rice. It’s everything you need, nothing you don’t.

🍔 Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground turkey

  • 1 egg

  • A few green onion stems, finely chopped

  • 1 tbsp Saltery’s Garlic Lover Salt (don’t be shy — this is where the magic starts!)

  • 1 cup cooked rice

  • 1 cup of our Zesty Chickpea Salad (trust me — don’t skip this part!)

🔥 Let’s Get Cooking:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground turkey, egg, chopped green onions, and Garlic Lover Salt until just combined. (Pro tip: Don’t overmix or the burgers can get tough!)

  2. Form into 4 patties — roughly the size of your palm.

  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Sear the burgers for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

  4. Serve each patty over a scoop of rice and top generously with the Zesty Chickpea Salad.

✨ Optional Add-Ons (aka fridge-cleanout ideas):

  • A dollop of Greek yogurt or tzatziki

  • Sliced avocado

  • A handful of greens or microgreens

  • A drizzle of hot sauce if you like a kick
