Cooking Instructions
- Start by mincing the garlic and chopping the fresh parsley. In a large mixing bowl, combine these with ground turkey, the egg, Worcestershire sauce, and the spices.
- Carefully blend the ingredients using your hands. Avoid overworking the turkey to keep burgers tender.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center.
- In a skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Place the patties in the skillet, cooking for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Toast the buns if desired, spread a layer of mayonnaise, add lettuce, tomato, and the turkey patties on top. Serve immediately!
Notes
Avoid overworking the turkey for tender burgers. Always check internal temperature to ensure safety.
