Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 whole Burger buns
- 4 whole Lettuce leaves
- 1 whole Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise or preferred burger sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, egg, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently using your hands or a spatula until well incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties, about 1 inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the turkey patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to keep them juicy.
Toast the burger buns lightly in the same skillet or on the grill, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise or your preferred sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bun, followed by a turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as sweet potato fries or a green salad.
