Servings: 4
Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey 93/7 for best flavor and moisture
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup cracker crumbs or bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon onion finely chopped or grated (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro OR dill optional, but highly recommended
  • Olive oil for coating frying pan

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (except olive oil) until just mixed.
  2. Shape the ground meat into four equal-sized patties.
  3. Chill the patties in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to prevent crumbling.
  4. When ready to cook, preheat a grill or frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Cook patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Handle patties with care while transferring to plate or bun, as lean meat tends to fall apart easier.
