Memoli's Mom's Turkey Burgers



So the gym teacher I work with (Rob) randomly comes by my classroom with a print out of a hand written recipe of turkey burgers his family makes.  I immediately told him to go to the copy machine upstairs to make me a copy, best decision I think I made that day.  Follow this recipe exactly...I actually measured this all out (sometimes I just wing seasonings to burgers)  You will not be disappointed, these are the best turkey burgers I've quite possibly ever had.

Ingredients:
  • About 4 Tbsp. of olive oil
  • 1 package of ground turkey
  • 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 medium yellow/white onion, finely minced
  • 1 Tbsp. dried parsley
  • 1 Tbsp. dried basil
  • Sliced American cheese (white)
Directions:
In a medium bowl, add turkey, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, parsley, basil.  You could chop these by hand, but I put the peeled garlic and largely diced onion in a food processor and pulsed it to make sure they were super fine, then added it to the bowl of other ingredients.  Mix thoroughly by hand and shape into 4 patties.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick pan on about medium-high heat.  Add patties to cook (covered with lid or aluminum foil), flipping once. (About ten minutes?)
Add American cheese (I put 2 slices on each burger) and then recovered with aluminum foil and removed them from heat.
I served ours on potato rolls.  A little ketchup is all these then need.
