Ranch Turkey Burgers (Dairy-free and Whole30)
This recipe uses one of my favorite things…RANCH! These super juicy and zesty burgers are a nice way to switch things up on your next burger night! Feel free to use any type of ground meat that you have on hand. Personally, I think the “ranch” flavor shines the best with turkey or chicken, but it would taste delicious mixed with beef too!
Check out my handy, go-to Ranch Seasoning Mix that I used in this recipe. There’s also an option if you do not have that!

- In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. I like well seasoned foods! Therefore, I use a full 4 tablespoons of the ranch seasoning. The meat mixture will be a fairly sticky glob. However, you will still be able to form it into a patty easily, I promise! Your hands will just need a good washing afterwards!
- So I can easily divide it into 4 patties, I like to flatten the mixture in my bowl and gently score it into quarters.
- Take each section and flatten out into a 3/4"-1" thick patty. Press your fingers gently in the middle to create a dimple. You want the center to be a bit thinner (about 1/2" thick) to prevent your burgers from doming up in the middle.
- In a pan over medium-high heat, add your cooking oil. Allow the pan to heat up for a couple minutes. You want it to be nice and hot. Place your burgers in the pan and cook for your burgers for 3-4 minutes. You should hear a sizzle when you place the patties in the pan. The sizzle is key for a nice crust on your burger. When you have a nice golden brown crust, it's time to cook the other side!
- After a few minutes and the crust has formed, using a wide, flat spatula (makes for easier flipping), flip your burger and cook the other side for another 3-6 minutes - depending on your preferred doneness.**
- Top with your favorites! I like grilled onions, but some bacon and jalapeños would be delicious too!

**Cooking times:
For a medium-rare burger: cook the second side for 2-3 minutes (6 minutes total)
For a medium burger: cook the second side for 3-4 minutes (7-8 minutes total)
For a medium-well burger: cook the second side for 4-5 minutes (8-9 minutes total)
For a well-done burger: cook the second side for 5-6 minutes (10 minutes total) - this burger will be a bit drier - FYI!
