Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, gently knead together ground turkey, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to overwork the meat to keep the burgers tender.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into patties about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Press your thumb down into the center of each patty to create a slight indent which helps them cook evenly.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a large heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (400-450 degrees Fahrenheit). Make sure the grill grates or pan are well oiled to prevent sticking.
- Cook Burgers: Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, flipping once halfway through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the burgers from heat once they reach 160 degrees and let them rest to finish cooking.
- Rest and Serve: Let the burgers rest for 5 minutes, allowing the internal temperature to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit fully. Serve with your favorite toppings and buns.
Notes
- Do not overmix the turkey to avoid dense burgers.
- The thumb indent in the patties prevents them from puffing up during cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure safe internal temperature.
- Letting burgers rest improves juiciness and flavor.
- Optional toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and condiments.
