Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Turkey Burger
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions, shaping into patties about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing while cooking.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F). For stovetop, heat a skillet over medium heat with a splash of oil.
  4. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. If adding cheese, place it on the patties during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
  6. Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until warm and lightly toasted.
  7. Assemble burgers by placing each patty on the bottom bun and topping with lettuce, tomatoes, and condiments.
  8. Serve the Turkey Burgers immediately while hot, juicy, and full of flavor!
