Ingredients
1lb (450g) ground turkey
1 tablespoon chopped scallion
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chili pepper flakes,
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
Instructions:
1. To make the turkey patties: Combine all ingredients for the turkey patties (ground turkey, scallion, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne and chili flakes) in a medium-sized bowl and gently mix until everything is evenly combined. Do not overwork, so you’ll get a better texture.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and divide the turkey mixture into four equal parts. Flatten gently to form the turkey patties, then sear the turkey patties in the skillet for 5-8 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 160ºF (71ºC). Make sure to give a good sear to the turkey patties so they’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Serve the turkey patties with a dollop of homemade low fat chipotle aioli on the side, or squeeze between to slices of buns to make delicious turkey burgers. Enjoy!
