Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon chopped scallion
• 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or crumbled bouillon cube)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, optional
• 2 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. To make the turkey patties: Combine all ingredients for the turkey patties (ground turkey, scallion, parsley, garlic, salt, cayenne, ginger, and chili flakes) in a medium-sized bowl and gently mix until everything is evenly combined. Do not overwork, so you'll get a better texture.
2. Heat 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon butter together in a skillet over medium-high heat and divide the turkey mixture into four equal parts. Flatten gently to form the turkey patties, then sear the turkey patties in the skillet for 5-8 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 160ºF (71ºC). Make sure to give a good sear to the turkey patties so they're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Serve and Enjoy!
