Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley

Instructions

  3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat and brush it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the turkey patties for 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Notes

  • Ensure the internal temperature of the turkey patties reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond meal.
