Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Turkey Burger
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh chopped parsley, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. If desired, place a slice of cheese on top during the last minute of cooking to melt.
  6. Lightly toast your burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden and crispy.
  7. Assemble your turkey burger by placing each cooked patty onto a toasted bun and layering with lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and any other condiments.
  8. Serve your homemade turkey burgers immediately while still hot and juicy.
