Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time20 mins
Servings: 4 burgers

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs or plain breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Add all of the ingredients except for 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large bowl. Use your hands to mix all of the ingredients until combined. 
  • Divide the turkey into 4 equal portions and press into patties that are about ½” thick. 
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add 2 of the patties side by side (or cook 1 patty at a time if your pan is smaller).
  • Cook the patties for 4 - 5 minutes on each side, until they are cooked through (to at least 165 °F) and browned. 
  • Repeat with the remaining patties, adding 1 tablespoon more of oil to the pan before cooking. 
  • Serve warm on a bun with all of your favorite burger fixings.
