- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, bell pepper, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1/2-inch thick.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

- While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes.
- Once the burgers are cooked through, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun. Add your desired toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
- Serve the seasoned turkey burgers immediately and enjoy!
