Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey with all seasonings and herbs. Mix gently with your hands until well combined, but don't overmix.
  2. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions (about 2 ounces each).
  3. Form each portion into a patty about ½-inch thick. Make a small dimple in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (175°C/350°F).
  5. Once hot, add the patties to the pan (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding).
  6. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add 1 grated apple to the mixture
  • Store uncooked patties between parchment paper layers for up to 2 days
  • Freeze uncooked patties for up to 3 months
  • For a spicier version, increase red pepper flakes to ½ teaspoon
