Sour Cream and Chive Turkey Burgers Recipe

This sour cream and chive turkey burger recipe is by far my favorite way to make turkey burgers. They’re the best burgers made with ground turkey, are flavorful and come together in a flash, truly a recipe staple to have on hand!

The best ever recipe for sour cream and chive turkey burgers this image
No joke, this turkey burger recipe is my favorite turkey burger recipe, it’s one that I’ve been making for years. Today I’m revamping an old post with new photos (the original post was published 4 years ago!!), but the recipe remains unchanged because it’s so good.

Turkey burger recipe without eggsMove aside any bland turkey burger you’ve ever had, and make room for this absolutely delicious, flavorful and overall amazing sour cream and chive turkey burger. In this turkey burger, sour cream is used instead of eggs and is a nice healthy dinner idea. You can use lower fat or fat-free sour cream to make it even lower calorie.

The best turkey burger toppings

You can load up the burgers with your favorite toppings. I’ve found that for these burgers the best toppings are lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, provolone cheese, and pickles.

The best sour cream and chive turkey burgersI am one of those people that actually prefers ground turkey over ground beef. You will seldom see ground beef in my house. So when it comes to burgers, I love using ground turkey to make them. If you cook with ground turkey, or lean/extra lean ground turkey, you may know that it can tend to get a little dry sometimes. Because you’re using sour cream in these burgers, the burgers stay nice and juicy.

I wanted to leave some of the old photos just for you to see lol:

Next time you’re looking for a delicious ground turkey burger recipe, I’d highly recommend making these! The best part is that it’s a quick and easy dinner recipe, it takes a under 20 minutes to have dinner on the table!

    These were delicious! I make my patties pretty thin because I’m not a fan of thick ones (and I like them to cook all the way through without getting too crispy on the outside) so this recipe made 6 patties for me. I cooked them on the stove top 4-5 minutes per side. The flavors were yummy (I did cut the cayenne in half as I tend to do for my little ones) but I think it would have actually been ok to keep it as is. It was so easy to throw together and made for such a quick weeknight dinner. This would be perfect for busy school nights. Thanks for this awesome recipe!

    Would I be able to freeze two uncooked burgers for later with the sour cream in them?

      Yes, I have done this many times. They thaw/cook really well after the fact. Or what I sometimes like to do is cook them all, and then freeze them after cooking. That way when i’m need of a quick meal, I can just microwave them and they’re good to go.

    Thanks so much for posting this wonderful recipe. We have stopped eating beef and now I’m having to find recipes to substitute for burgers, tacos, meatloaf and such. These burgers were way better than beef burgers. This will be a staple in my monthly menu rotation.

      If you’re baking them I would do 350 for 1/2 an hour, flipping at 15 minutes. The internal temperature should be 165 🙂

    These are so awesome!!! Have you ever tried Greek yogurt in place of sour cream Phi? Of course, they’re two very different things in terms of composition, since the first one is fattier, so we’re really wondering if it would work:) In any case, these are fantastic turkey burgers and we’d LOVE to try them.
    Sending you guys our love,

      Thanks for your comment Mirella and Panos. I have tried Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and it worked good, but I like the flavor of the sour cream a little better 🙂
      Hope all is well

    I am going to try this, but I will be calling it, “Chive Turkey!” as you should have, or Bob of “Bob’s Burgers” would have on his burger of the day board. If he would ever consider using turkey, which I doubt.

      OMG! That is too funny! I just started watching Bob’s Burger and love all the punny burger names. Wish I would have thought of that … insert awkward Tiny moan “ehhhhh” lol.

        Made these the other day, and we had the other two leftover tonight. The “Chive Turkey!” burgers were declared very tasty (white cheddar variant). That’s no jive! They’ll be added to the rotation, and we’ll try the feta version. Thanks! While turkeys won’t be displacing our burger meat of choice, their fellow North American native, the bison from our Colorado grill grate we think they can learn to coexist peacefully. Turns out Bob did have a “Don’t Give Me No Chive Burger (served with no chives)” on an episode.
