Turkey patties are a healthy replacement for red meat, and turkey patties are high in protein and low in saturated and unsaturated fat. Cooking turkey patties on the grill is an effective way to keep the meat moist while lightly crisping the outside of the turkey patties and adding more flavor to the meat. If you are using frozen turkey patties, allow them to defrost in the refrigerator overnight and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture before cooking them.
Step 1
Remove the turkey patties from the refrigerator and brush them lightly with vegetable oil on both sides. Use only enough vegetable oil to lightly coat the patties.
Step 2
Cover the turkey patties with plastic wrap and allow them to warm up at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are using a charcoal grill, this will take about 20 minutes.
Step 4
Brush the grates of the grill with vegetable oil and place the turkey patties on the grill over the hottest section. Grill the turkey patties on the first side for five to six minutes.
Step 5
Flip the turkey patties over with a spatula and cook them for an additional six minutes.
Step 6
Remove the turkey patties from the grill and place them on a warm serving platter. Serve while hot.
Tips and Warnings
- For a bit of extra flavor, season the outside of the turkey patties with freshly chopped thyme or rosemary before putting them on the grill.
