Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey (85% lean)
2 medium onions, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley)
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before handling the raw turkey.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped onions, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and parsley.
Using your hands or a large spoon, gently mix the ingredients together until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the patties tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, making a slight indent in the center with your thumb.
Heat a skillet or grill to medium heat. Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of each patty.
Transfer the cooked burgers to a clean plate and serve immediately on buns with your favorite toppings.
Comments
Ground turkey, onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and parsley are all standard items at every Charlotte grocery chain without exception. At current turkey prices, this runs about $2–2.50 per burger, making it genuinely cheap for a protein-forward meal. The stated 20 minutes is honest if you're using a hot skillet and doing nothing else, but the recipe likely needs 5 minutes for onion prep and another 3–5 minutes rest time after cooking, pushing real time to 28–30 minutes on a weeknight. These reheat decently in the microwave or toaster oven the next day, and the lean meat with minimal fat means they're good for family dinner without fussiness, though they can dry out if overcooked.
