Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 3 oz smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 tsp onion powder (natural)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (natural gelling agent)
- 2 tsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Optional Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plant-based cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped smoked turkey bacon, chia seeds, onion powder (natural), garlic powder (natural), chopped parsley, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the Patties: Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small, even-sized patties about 2 to 3 inches wide. Keep them uniform in size to ensure even cooking. If desired, gently press plant-based cheese into the center of each patty for a melty surprise.
- Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet without crowding, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. The patties should reach a safe internal temperature and have a beautiful, appetizing color.
- Rest and Serve: After cooking, let the patties rest on a paper towel-lined plate for a few minutes to drain excess oil. This step solidifies their texture and heightens flavor. Serve warm or pack for an on-the-go meal.
Notes
- Keep the mixture cold before shaping to help the patties hold together better.
- Do not overmix to avoid dense patties; stir just until combined.
- Use a cookie scoop or measuring cup for consistent patty sizes and easier cooking.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure patties cook through without burning on the outside.
- Adjust salt and spices before forming patties to suit your taste preferences.
