Ina’s version of a turkey burger uses lean ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, grated onion, and fresh herbs to keep things moist and flavorful. Unlike many dry, bland turkey patties, hers are seasoned just right and cooked with care to remain tender and juicy.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1½ pounds ground turkey (preferably 85% lean, not all breast meat)

  • 1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 small yellow onion, grated

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for added flavor)

  • Olive oil, for cooking

  • 4–6 burger buns

  • Toppings: sliced tomato, lettuce, red onion, avocado, cheese, ketchup, or mayo

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Patty Mixture

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, grated onion, parsley, salt, pepper, and mustard (if using). Gently mix with your hands or a fork—do not overwork.

Step 2: Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into 4–6 even portions. Form each into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Place on a plate and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up (this helps prevent sticking and breaking).

Step 3: Preheat Your Cooking Surface

For stovetop: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush lightly with olive oil.
For grill: Preheat grill to medium-high and oil the grates.

Step 4: Cook the Burgers

Cook patties for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Flip only once to prevent breaking.

Step 5: Toast the Buns (Optional)

Toast the burger buns face-down on the pan or grill for 1–2 minutes until golden.

Step 6: Assemble and Serve

Serve burgers on buns with your favorite toppings and condiments.
