Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup quinoa
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • ½ cup Worcestershire sauce, divided
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
  • 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt (such as LAWRY'S®)
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds lean ground turkey
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.

Step 2
Bring water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.

Step 3
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4
Combine cooked quinoa, onion mixture, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, eggs, barbeque sauce, hot sauce, seasoned salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Whisk together. Add ground turkey and mix well with hands. Form patties and place in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5
Mix remaining 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar together in a bowl to make a paste. Spoon on top of the patties.

Step 6
Bake patties in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 35 to 45 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

You can form large patties for regular burgers or small patties for sliders; they do not shrink or expand.
