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, extra virgin 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 into the center of each patty to create a slight indent to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Heat a large heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat, or preheat an outdoor grill to 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Cook Burgers: Place the patties on the skillet, grill pan, or grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, flipping once halfway through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, or remove at 160 degrees and let rest to finish cooking.
- Rest Patties: Let the burgers rest for 5 minutes off the heat to allow juices to redistribute and the internal temperature to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve with your preferred toppings and buns.
Notes
- Do not overwork the meat mixture to prevent tough burgers.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- The slight indent in the patty center helps burgers cook evenly without puffing up.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices for extra flavor.
- Letting the burgers rest after cooking keeps them juicy.
