Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 whole wheat hamburger buns
Lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments for serving
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the burgers are golden brown.
While the burgers are cooking, toast the whole wheat buns in a toaster or on a separate skillet until lightly browned.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun and topping with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments. Serve immediately.
Notes
For added flavor, mix in chopped fresh herbs like basil or cilantro into the turkey mixture.
Try adding a slice of cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking for a melty finish.
