Easy Low Sodium Grilled Turkey Burgers Recipe
This recipe uses a few spices to bring out the taste of the meat without using additional salt. A little onion powder, garlic powder, fresh ground pepper and liquid smoke goes a long way to boosting the flavor without boosting the sodium.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean organic ground turkey
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke without additional flavorings and added sodium
Instructions
- Preheat your grill for at least 5 minutes with the lid closed. Use the high setting if you have it.
- In a bowl, combine ground turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, parsley and liquid smoke and mix well.
- Shape into four 4-ounce patties.
- Place on grill and close lid.
- Grill for 4-6 minutes.
- Serve on a low sodium bun with traditional burger condiments and enjoy!
Notes
- Choose a fresh ground turkey from your local grocer that is not injected with additional sodium.
- Larger “gourmet” buns usually contain a ton of sodium. Often as much as 500mg! Sara Lee makes burger buns that are much lower. And many store brands also contain less sodium so be sure to look at the packaging.
- Of course, you could always skip the bun entirely. You’d also be saving 200-300 calories by doing so.
