Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole egg
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 whole burger buns
- 4 whole lettuce leaves
- 8 slices tomato slices
- 4 slices cheese slices (optional)
- to taste condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, but do not overmix to prevent the burgers from becoming tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and spread it evenly over the surface.
Place the turkey patties in the skillet or on the grill pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.
If using cheese, place a slice on each burger during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet or grill pan with a lid to let the cheese melt.
Toast the burger buns lightly on a clean section of the skillet or grill pan if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a turkey patty, tomato slices, and your choice of condiments. Top with the remaining bun halves.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries, salad, or coleslaw. Enjoy!
