These Ranch Turkey Burgers will knock your socks off! They are seriously the easiest burger ever and have so much yummy ranch flavor. Plus, they are good for you, packed with protein, and have just three ingredients.

These simple turkey burgers are the perfect way to liven up a traditional turkey burger without reaching for tons of ingredients. In fact, you just need two other ingredients to make a flavor-packed burger that your whole family will love. They are easy, filled with so much yummy ranch flavor, and always a crowd-pleaser. No bland, boring turkey burgers here.

Now before we go further, let's talk about using store-bought ranch seasoning. It isn't the healthiest option around, but it is quick, convenient, and affordable. Unfortunately, store-bought ranch seasoning usually has lots of sodium and normally contains both MSG and maltodextrin. It also contains some other preservatives and hard-to-pronounce ingredients.

Depending on your diet and health needs, this may be a deal-breaker for you, or you may not mind. No judgment; choose the option that is best for you. For a healthier option, you can make your own ranch seasoning at home. It tastes just as good and is made with natural ingredients, many of which you may already have. It just takes a little longer.
