A simple and adaptable recipe for juicy, flavorful turkey burger patties that stay moist and perfect for meal prep or quick dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) ground turkey (93% lean preferred)
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs or oat flour (for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Finely chop the yellow onion and garlic cloves.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and breadcrumbs or oat flour.
  3. Add salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and fresh parsley. Mix gently just until combined to avoid tough patties.
  4. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a round patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
  5. Optional: Chill patties in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to help them hold together better.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
  7. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on the first side until browned and edges firm up.
  8. Flip gently and cook an additional 4-5 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on patties while cooking.
  9. Remove patties from pan and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving or storing.

Notes

Do not overmix the meat to avoid tough patties. Press a thumb indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing. Rest patties after cooking to lock in juices. Patties can be frozen raw or cooked; thaw overnight before cooking or reheating. Reheat gently to maintain moisture.
