Instructions
Coat a plate with half a tablespoon of the oil.
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
Place the ground turkey, almond flour, mayonnaise, garlic powder, coconut aminos, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Using your hands, combine the mixture gently to avoid overworking the meat. The mixture will be sticky.
Form the meat into (4) 1/4 lb. patties and place on the oil coated plate, brushing a light coating of oil over the top and bottom of the burgers to prevent sticking. Chill a minimum of 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium high heat, or about 400 degrees. Once heated, brush the grill grates with oil as needed. Place the burgers on the oiled grill and grill for 5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove from heat. Serve in lettuce wraps or buns with your desired toppings. Enjoy!

How to freeze turkey burgers. Place uncooked ground turkey burgers on a parchment or waxed paper lined baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. From there, place them in a zip top bag or container with parchment paper between them and store for up to 3 months. Note: Frozen turkey burgers will take 7-8 minutes per side to cook, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
