Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1/4 cup finely grated onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
  • 4 burger buns
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated onion, minced garlic, beaten egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, oregano, black pepper, and sea salt. Use your hands to gently mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the second side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Toast the burger buns lightly if desired. Place each cooked turkey patty on a bun and top with your favorite toppings. Serve immediately while hot and juicy.

Notes

Chill the burger mixture for 15-20 minutes before forming patties to help them hold shape. Don't overmix the meat to keep burgers tender. Use a meat thermometer to ensure 165°F internal temperature. Let burgers rest 2-3 minutes after cooking for juicier results.
