Ingredients

For the Turkey Burgers

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • ¾ teaspoon seasoned salt or kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

For Serving

Instructions

  • In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine all turkey patty ingredients (everything except canola oil). Gently mix the ingredients until incorporated. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape each part into a ¼-½ inch patty (depending on preference).

  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. When hot, add the oil. When the oil is hot (shimmers), carefully place the patties in the pan/griddle and cook them 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly seared on each side. A meat thermometer inserted in the middle of each patty should read 160°F.
