Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried sage, dried thyme, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Using clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined but do not overwork the mixture to avoid tough patties.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a round, flat patty about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. If not using a nonstick skillet, lightly grease the pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the turkey patties in the skillet, ensuring they are not crowded. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve immediately, or allow the patties to cool and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
