If you are looking for a dinner that the whole family will enjoy, these turkey patties are a fantastic choice. They come together with pantry staples you likely already have in your kitchen, making them perfect for those nights when you need something fast but satisfying.

My best tip is to handle the meat mixture gently while forming the patties. If you press them too tightly, they can become a bit tough, so just give them a light shape before placing them in the skillet.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Use your hands to gently mix everything together until just combined.

  3. 3

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about half an inch thick.

  4. 4

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked all the way through.

  6. 6

    Serve warm on a bun with your favorite toppings or alongside a fresh side salad.

💡 Tips

You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. These patties also freeze well, so consider making a double batch to save for a quick lunch later in the week.
