Instructions
- In a large bowl combine 1 pound ground turkey, 1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs (or almond meal), 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Use your hands or a spoon to gently mix the ingredients until just combined; do not overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into 4 or 6 equal portions. Gently form each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
- Stovetop method: heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) avocado oil or olive oil and swirl to coat. When the oil is shimmering, add the patties without crowding the pan and cook 4–6 minutes per side, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Grill method: preheat the grill to medium (about 350°F / 180°C). Clean and oil the grill grates, place the patties on the grill, and cook 4–6 minutes per side, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the patties from the heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
- Assemble the turkey burgers with your preferred condiments and serve.
Notes
This recipe makes 4 turkey patties. Nutrition values calculated are rough estimates per patty without the bun or any extras.
Create a slight indentation in the center of the patties to help them cook evenly and to avoid a bulge in the middle.
Prevent sticking by oiling the grill grates. Dip a folded paper towel in vegetable oil and use tongs to rub it along the grill grates.
Let your burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking so the juices settle back into the patty.
