Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey thighs 93% lean
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcester sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/3 cup fresh parsley chopped
- 4 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and chopped parsley. Mix gently until everything is well incorporated—don’t overmix to keep the burgers juicy.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ½-inch thick. Place them on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to help them firm up (this helps them hold their shape during cooking).
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the turkey patties. Cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown on the outside and fully cooked inside (internal temp should reach 165°F).
- Serve the burgers hot on toasted buns. Add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, and cheese. You can also include aioli, mayo, ketchup, or extra Dijon!
Notes
How to Store & Freeze:
Store leftover burger patties in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last for up to 5 days. Keep the veggies in a separate container.
You can also freeze the patties, cooked or uncooked, for up to 3 months. I get the best results when I flash freeze them on a tray first, then store them in a large freezer-safe bag.
To keep the patties from drying out, reheat them in a covered skillet over medium-low heat, or in short intervals in the microwave.
