Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
¼ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped parsley
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic minced
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 burger buns

Toppings: Lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, cheese, or your preferred toppings

Condiments: Ketchup, mustard, mayo, or your preferred condiments

Instructions

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, egg, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Form the turkey mixture into four equal-sized burger patties. Make an indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to help maintain their shape during cooking.
Grill the turkey burger patties for approximately 6 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the burgers are cooking, toast the burger buns for 1-2 minutes on the grill or in a toaster.
Assemble the burger by placing the turkey patty on the bottom bun, followed by your choice of toppings and condiments. Finish by placing the top bun and enjoy your delicious turkey burger!

Notes

Use Lean Ground Turkey: This helps prevent the burgers from becoming too greasy while maintaining moisture.
Don't Overmix: Overmixing can lead to dense and tough burgers.
Make an Indentation: With your thumb, press a slight indentation into the center of each burger patty. This helps the burgers cook evenly and prevents them from puffing up in the middle.
Cook to the Right Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the turkey burgers reaches 165°F (74°C). This ensures they are fully cooked and safe to eat while remaining juicy.
Oil the Grill or Pan: If grilling or cooking on a stovetop, lightly oil the grill grates or pan to prevent sticking and help achieve a nice burger sear.
Let them rest before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the patties, resulting in a juicier burger.
