Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 0.5 cup roasted red peppers, finely chopped
• 0.33 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 0.25 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 1 assorted optional toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, red onion, egg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients together until evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill over medium heat. Add the olive oil to the skillet, or lightly oil the grill grates if grilling.

Step 5

Cook the turkey burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties, as this can cause them to dry out.

Step 6

If desired, lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet or grill during the last minute of cooking.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing each patty onto a bun and adding your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and onion.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like sweet potato fries or a fresh salad.
