Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground turkey
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 leaves Lettuce
• 4 slices Tomato slices
• 0 Optional toppings: cheese, pickles, or condiments

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, parsley, cilantro, thyme, garlic, red onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until well combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾-inch thick. Use your thumb to press a small indent in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot, place the patties in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on a separate skillet or in a toaster if desired.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and any additional toppings of your choice.

Step 7

Top each burger with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.

Step 8

Enjoy your Herbed Turkey Burgers with a side of sweet potato fries, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal!
