Turkey burgers are a quick, mostly healthy main dish you can have on the table in a flash. And they’re kid-friendly too!
1 pound ground turkey, 85% lean
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 large egg
Black pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil, for frying
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
In a medium-size bowl, crumble the turkey and add the rest of the ingredients except the oil. Using a spoon or fork, lightly but thoroughly mix the ingredients. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into half-inch thick patties on waxed paper, parchment, or foil squares.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom. Use the waxed paper squares to invert the patties into the pan one by one, peeling off the paper as you go.
Cook the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or just until no pink remains in the center. Serve garnished with parsley if desired.
