Ingredients
Scale
Ground Turkey Patties
- 1.5 pounds ground turkey
- ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- ¼ cup finely diced onion
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, seasoned bread crumbs, finely diced onion, chopped fresh parsley, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overwork the meat to maintain tenderness.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten each ball into a patty shape suitable for sliders or small burgers.
- Heat Skillet: Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Cook Patties: Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 4 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F (74˚C), ensuring they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
- Melt Cheese (Optional): If desired, add cheese slices on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.
- Serve: Cook the patties in batches if necessary, then serve hot on buns or with your favorite sides.
Notes
- To avoid dry patties, do not overmix the meat mixture.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties are cooked to an internal temperature of 165˚F for safety.
- For extra flavor, customize the seasoning by adding paprika or chili flakes.
- Serve with fresh vegetables or whole grain buns for a balanced meal.
