How To Make Turkey Burgers Look Like Ground Beef - Weight Watchers Food Hack

Introduce the video and explain the purpose of the recipe.

Use 0.5 pounds of 99% fat-free ground turkey for a half batch recipe.

Add onion powder, nor beef bouillon, garlic powder, smoked paprika (just under 0.5 teaspoons), cumin, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and salt to the turkey.

Add 0.125 teaspoons of baking soda to the mixture and mix thoroughly.

If the mixture is sticky, wet hands to reduce stickiness.

Separate the turkey mixture into two quarter-pound batches: one for darkening and one for cooking plain.

For the darkened batch, add 0.5 teaspoons of cocoa powder and a little water, mixing until combined.

Let both batches sit for 20-30 minutes in the fridge to allow the baking soda to work.

After the resting period, form quarter-pound patties using a burger press.

Cook the patties on a flat top heated over medium heat for 2.5 minutes per side.

Show the color difference between the cooked patties with and without cocoa powder.
