- 1 pound (450g) ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
- 1 tablespoon oil for the pan

- Mix turkey, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire. Shape four patties and press a dimple in the center.
- Cook in a little oil over medium heat, about 5 minutes a side, until the center is 165°F (74°C).

Notes
Turkey has less fat than beef. A dimple keeps the patty from bulging, and oil keeps it from sticking.

FAQ
Breast or thigh?
Thigh stays juicier. Breast works if you do not overcook it.
Grill
Medium heat, oiled grates, same temperature.
Storage
Fridge, 3 days. Freeze raw patties up to 2 months.
Breadcrumbs?
A tablespoon helps a very lean mix hold. It is optional.
