- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional
- ½ tsp salt

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare The Patty Mixture
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- If the mixture feels too wet, add breadcrumbs gradually until it holds together. Be careful not to overdo it – we want juicy burgers!
Step 2: Shape The Patties
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions.
- Lightly oil your hands and shape each portion into a patty about ¾-inch thick.
- Place patties on a baking sheet and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes. This helps them hold their shape during cooking.
Step 3: Cook The Patties
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the oil.
- Cook the patties for 5–6 minutes per side, or until a meat thermometer reads 165°F.
- Avoid pressing down on the patties to keep all those delicious juices inside!
Step 4: Assemble The Burgers
- Toast the buns lightly on the skillet or grill.
- Add lettuce, tomato, onion, and any other toppings you love.
- Place the cooked turkey patty on top, slather with your favorite condiments, and dig in!
