Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey (85% lean)
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped green onion
3 teaspoons prepared mustard
Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, chopped green onion, and prepared mustard. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Place the turkey patties in the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Flip each patty and cook for another 5 minutes on the other side.
The patties are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F on a meat thermometer, or when they are golden brown on the outside and white throughout with no pink remaining. Total cooking time is approximately 10 minutes.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and serve immediately.
Comments
All ingredients are readily available at any Charlotte grocery chain—ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, green onion, mustard, and cooking spray are staples everywhere. The twenty-minute time is honest for a weeknight: ten minutes to mix and shape, ten to cook. Cost per serving runs roughly two dollars, driven entirely by the ground turkey, which is reasonable. This is a genuinely forgiving dish that reheats well and suits either a quick family dinner or a couple of lunches, with no special techniques or constant attention required. The main limit is that it's straightforward and unfussy rather than distinctive—it hits the brief perfectly but doesn't surprise.
