Notes

How to meal prep turkey burgers
I always love to have a couple of turkey burger patties meal prepped for a quick and easy dinner.
The meal prep I do most often is to make them entirely ahead of time and then store them in the refrigerator using a glass container. Then, I just heat the burgers throughout the week.
You can also make the patties ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator for 1-3 days, and then just cook them when ready to eat. I recommend putting parchment paper between the patties to stick together and are easier to handle.
Last, you can freeze turkey burger patties raw. Simply make the patties and then place them between parchment paper and flash freeze on a baking sheet or pan. Then, put the patties into a freezer bag and freeze. My advice is to thaw the patties entirely before cooking on the grill so they cook evenly.
