Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and dried parsley.
Add the egg and breadcrumbs to the turkey mixture. Use your hands to gently mix everything until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Press a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are browned on the outside.
While the burgers are cooking, slice the tomato into thin rounds and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Once the patties are cooked, remove them from heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf and tomato slices.
Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately.
