Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, onion, cilantro, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
2. Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can result in tough burgers.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Make sure the patties are slightly larger than the size of the hamburger buns, as they will shrink during cooking.
4. Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
5. Cook the turkey burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Once cooked, remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
7. While the burgers are resting, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
8. Assemble the burgers by placing a turkey patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup.
9. Cover the burgers with the top half of the buns and serve immediately.
10. Enjoy your delicious and flavorful cilantro turkey burgers!
