Step-by-Step Instructions for Juicy Ground Turkey Burgers
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey, egg, garlic, breadcrumbs, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide turkey mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick, with a slight indentation in the center.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat or preheat your grill to medium-high (375°F/190°C).
  4. Place patties in the hot skillet or on the grill. Cook each side for 5-7 minutes until browned. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. Remove patties from heat and let them rest for 3-5 minutes before serving on buns with your favorite toppings.
