Moist, flavorful turkey patties infused with fresh herbs and seasonings—perfect for a lighter twist on classic burgers.

Ingredients

  • Ground turkey (dark and light mix if preferred)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion, finely chopped
  • Fresh parsley, thyme, or oregano
  • Breadcrumbs or oat flour
  • Egg (binder)
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine turkey, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion, herbs, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix lightly until combined.
  2. Shape into patties of desired size.
  3. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 5–6 minutes per side until golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Remove from heat, let rest 2 minutes, then serve as desired.

Notes

  • To prevent drying out, include onion and herbs, avoid over-handling the meat, and cook gently over medium heat.
  • If you prefer grilling, brush patties with oil and grill over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side.
  • Uncooked patties can be frozen—shape and freeze individually with parchment in between.
  • For gluten-free options, use GF breadcrumbs or oat flour for the binder.
  • For added flavor, you can spice them up with cumin, smoked paprika, or chili flakes.
  • Serve on whole-grain buns, lettuce wraps, or pita for different presentation options.
  • Tzatziki, honey mustard, or garlic aioli make excellent dipping sauces to complement the herb flavor.
  • For a turkey meatloaf variation, mix the turkey mixture into a loaf pan and bake at 350°F for 45–55 minutes until cooked through.
