Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Turkey Burger

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if desired. Mix gently until just combined.
  • Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick with a slight indentation in the center.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil once hot.
  • Carefully place the patties on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on one side until golden-brown, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Place a slice of cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
  • Lightly toast your burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
  • Place each turkey patty on the toasted buns and layer on lettuce, tomatoes, and any condiments you desire.
  • Serve the burgers immediately while hot and juicy.

Notes

Gently combine the ingredients to avoid dense patties. Use a meat thermometer to ensure safety while preserving juiciness. Toasting the buns adds a delightful crunch.
