Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 egg (lightly beaten)
  • vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • Burger buns

For The Toppings

  • Tomato slices
  • Leafy greens
  • Cucumbers
  • Roasted red peppers
  • Red onion
  • Olive tapenade
  • Bbq sauce
  • Mustard

Instructions
 

  • Combine the egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Combine with a fork.
  • Add ground turkey to the same bowl and mix gently with a fork until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  • Form the turkey mixture into patties of 1/2-inch thickness by dividing it into four equal parts.

If Cooking On The Grill

  • Due to the delicate nature of turkey, you'll need to freeze the patties for about 30 minutes before grilling. 
  • Place the patties in a baking dish lined with parchment paper and freeze.
  • Clean your grill grates and heat the grill to medium-high. To prevent sticking, oil the grill grates well.
  • Grill for about 6 minutes per side, or until done.

If Cooking On The Skillet

  • Add one tablespoon of olive oil or other cooking oil to your skillet or grill pan and heat for a few minutes at medium heat.
  • Then cook them for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until they're done. Cover the skillet with a lid while they cook on the first side so that they don't over brown.

To Serve

  • Serve on fresh burger buns with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
