Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Olive oil for grilling
- 4 burger buns
- Lettuce, tomato, and toppings of choice
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients in a large bowl: ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley if using. Mix gently until just combined.
- Form the mixture into patties about 1/2 inch thick, making a small dip in the center of each patty.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat, brushing the surface with olive oil.
- Grill the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side, ensuring they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Assemble the burgers by serving the turkey patties on burger buns with fresh lettuce, slices of tomato, and any additional toppings you prefer.
Notes
For a spicier burger, add crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeños to the mixture. Chilling patties for 30 minutes can help them hold together while cooking.
