Ingredients
  

For the Patties
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey (85/15 or 93/7 blend) Avoid 99% fat-free versions that can lead to dryness.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances flavor and helps retain moisture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper Adds a bold bite.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Ensures even flavor distribution.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Adds subtle sweetness and depth.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce Contributes umami and aids moisture retention.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Prevents sticking and helps with grill marks.
For Garnishing
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (Finely chopped) Adds freshness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine 1 pound of ground turkey, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon of cracked black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined and shape into four 1-inch thick patties, making a small dimple in the center.
  2. Preheat your grill to medium-high (about 375°F). Scrape grates to remove residue and lightly oil them.
  3. Place the patties diagonally on the grill grates and cook for 4 to 5 minutes without moving until they sear and develop grill marks.
  4. Flip the patties carefully using tongs and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  5. Remove the burgers from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes on a plate to allow juices to redistribute.
  6. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and serve the burgers on toasted buns or with your favorite sides.
