• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 4 pieces Whole grain hamburger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey with the chopped onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, and egg.

Step 2

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.

Step 3

Using your hands, form the mixture into four equal patties, about 1 inch thick.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is shimmering, add the turkey patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 7

If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Step 8

While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns lightly in a toaster or on the skillet.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on each bottom bun, followed by the turkey patties, tomato slices, and top buns.

Step 10

Serve the turkey burgers immediately, and enjoy a high-protein and flavorful meal.
