Instructions

Prepare the Turkey Mixture
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined, taking care not to overwork the mixture to keep the burgers tender.
Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly larger than your burger buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
Cook the Burgers
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the burgers are golden brown on the outside.
Assemble the Burgers
Toast the burger buns if desired. Place the cooked turkey patties on the buns and add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, or pickles.
Serve and Enjoy
Serve the turkey burgers immediately, pairing them with side dishes like sweet potato fries, a fresh salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

Be careful not to overmix the turkey mixture to keep burgers tender and juicy.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
Feel free to customize toppings according to your preferences, including spicy sauces or different types of cheese.
To reduce calories, use whole wheat buns or lettuce wraps instead of traditional burger buns.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the patties and your stove.
