Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and red bell pepper, then add to the bowl.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme to the turkey mixture.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and mix it with olive oil and lemon juice.
Pour the egg mixture over the turkey mixture and add the whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Using your hands or a spoon, combine the ingredients together until just mixed. Avoid over-mixing to ensure tender patties.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat a non-stick grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat.

Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
