Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/4 cup chopped smoked turkey bacon
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup plant-based cheese
- 1 tablespoon natural vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Finely chop the smoked turkey bacon, onions, garlic, and parsley. Set them aside to ensure maximum flavor release when combined.
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped smoked turkey bacon, onions, garlic, parsley, plant-based cheese, and natural vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Add salt, black pepper, and natural gelling agent. Mix gently with your hands until ingredients are evenly distributed without overworking the meat.
- Form the Patties: Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties about 3 inches across using your hands or a small scoop to ensure uniform cooking.
- Cook to Perfection: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a touch of oil if needed. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
- Rest and Serve: Transfer cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess moisture. Let rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in juices.
Notes
- Evenly mix ingredients gently by hand to keep patties tender.
- Chilling patties in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before cooking improves shape retention.
- Ensure patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F for safety and juiciness.
- Use a quality non-stick pan to develop a nice crust without sticking or breaking.
- Fresh herbs add brightness and lift the flavors.
