Ingredients
- 3 pounds ground turkey (93% lean or less is recommended)
- ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ cup finely diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the panko breadcrumbs and Greek yogurt. Let sit for 5 minutes to soften the crumbs.

- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5–6 minutes per side until they reach 165°F (74°C). Flip only once.
- Let patties rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
