Turkey Patty Recipe
- Olive Oil. We add a little olive oil to the skillet that we use to cook the patties in.
- Ground Turkey. We use ground turkey that is 85% lean and 15% fat or 93% lean and 7% fat. The higher the fat content, the more moist and flavorful the burgers will be.
- Seasoning. We add in fresh garlic and green onion, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper which adds a lot of flavor to the burger patties.

How To Make Turkey Patties
- Prepare Patties. Gently fold in the mayonnaise, mustard, Worchestershire, garlic, green onion and seasoning to the ground meat. Careful not to over mix or the patties will be a little tough. Evenly divide the meat and shape into patties that are about 1/2 inch thick or so.
- Cook Patties. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat and cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side. If grilling on a grill, brush oil on cleaned grates. Place the patties on the grates and cook for 3-5 minutes over medium high heat.
Make Ahead Meal Prep Instructions
- Mix the meat ingredients and form into patties. Lay the patties on a parchment lined plate or baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 2 days before cooking. ]
- To freeze the patties, lay the patties on a parchment lined plate or baking sheet in a single layer and place in the freezer for 1 hour. Remove from the freezer and transfer to an airtight freezer safe container or plastic bags with parchment squares between each patty to keep them from sticking together.
- Thaw the patties before cooking.
