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

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Finely chop the smoked turkey bacon, onions, garlic, and parsley. Set them aside to ensure maximum flavor release when combined.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
