Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (450 g) ground turkey 93% lean
  • ¼ cup (30 g) dried breadcrumbs or almond meal
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) avocado oil or olive oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine turkey with breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, smoked paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to combine well, but do not over work to get a better texture.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 or 6 portions (about half an inch thick), and gently flatten and shape into patties.
  • If using the stovetop, heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and add the patties to the pan. Cook on both sides for about 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the patties is 165°F/74°C.
  • If using the grill, preheat the grill to medium heat (around 350°F/180°C). Clean and oil the grill grates. Cook the patties for about 10 minutes on both sides until the internal temperature of the turkey is 165°F/74°C.
  • Remove the patties, and assemble with your favorite condiments.

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.
