  • 2 tbsp scallion greens: FODMAP-safe and flavorful.
  • 1 tsp Low FODMAP Worcestershire sauce: check label or make your own.
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp garlic-infused olive oil: adds flavor without FODMAPs.
  • ½ tsp Bell’s Seasoning: classic herb blend.
  • Kosher salt & black pepper: to taste.

How To Make Low FODMAP Turkey Burgers:

Make the Burger Mixture:
Beat the egg in a large bowl. Add turkey, scallion greens, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp garlic-infused oil, Bell’s seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes to firm up.

Form Patties:
Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. The mixture will be wet—handle gently and wash hands after.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter and remaining garlic-infused oil over medium heat. Add the patties. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.

Serve:
Place burgers on Low FODMAP rolls or lettuce wraps. Top with approved condiments, tomato slices, and lettuce if desired.
