📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

2. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty, approximately 2 to 2.5 inches in diameter.

3. In a shallow dish, combine the remaining Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Mix well.

4. Dredge each turkey patty in the Parmesan-panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks to both sides.

5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

6. Place the coated patties in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the crust is golden brown.

7. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the mini burger buns in a separate skillet or toaster.

8. Prepare the burger sauce by mixing mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.

9. To assemble the burgers, spread a small amount of the sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.

10. Layer with a lettuce leaf, a Parmesan crusted turkey patty, a slice of cherry tomato, and the top bun.

11. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Parmesan Crusted Mini Turkey Burgers!
