Let's Make Seasoning Mix/Paste:

• Add all of the seasoning mix into a small bowl. Mix/Stir to combine.

Let's Season the Burger:

• Add the ground turkey to a mixing bowl.
• Add in all the vegetables and herbs.
• Add the seasoning mix.
• Use hands or gloves to mix well. Mix until all the ingredients are saturated through the meat. Do not over mix.
• Cover with plastic wrap allow to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

30 minutes later, Let's Shape the Burgers:

Preheat oven broiler if required.

• Remove the seasoned meat from the fridge.
• Create 4 equal portions and shape each into round balls. Shape into patties about 1/2 inch thick. To shape the patties I place a ball into one of my palm and then use the other palm/hand to flatten. Use tip of fingers to create an indention in the center of the burger.

  Note: Indenting the center of the burger will prevent it from puffing/swelling up in the middle when cooking. This will result in even cooking throughout the meat.

  Note: These burgers are 1/2 pounders. You can make smaller 1/4 pounders (8 Burgers)
• Place the burger patties on an ovenproof broiler pan or a sheetpan.
• Place the broiler pan in the over 6" to 8" from the broiler flame. Broil the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes.

  Note: If making smaller burgers, cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven. Use a spatula to flip the burger. Return to the oven. Broil 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the pan and top the burgers with cheese. Return to the oven and broil until cheese is melted – up to 1 minute.
• Assemble the burger using your favorite bread and toppings. I used my whole wheat tortilla wrap to sandwich the burgers in between two. Recipe link in notes below. Enjoy!
