Servings: 6
Calories: 116Kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey 93% lean works best - very lean turkey can be dry
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar or a drizzle of honey
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Hamburger buns for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and break it apart with a spoon.
- Cook until no longer pink.
- Drain any excess liquid if needed, but leave a small amount to keep the meat moist.
- Add ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine well.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken and coat the meat. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
- Spoon the mixture onto hamburger buns and serve warm.
Notes
Use 93% lean turkey for the best balance of flavor and moisture.
Let the mixture simmer so the sauce thickens.
Toast the buns lightly so they don’t get soggy.
Do not rush the simmering step - this is when the flavor develops.
**Note the calorie estimate does not contain calories for the hamburger bun.
