- 2 tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika

- Optional: 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce or BBQ sauce for added flavor
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep burgers tender.

- Rest: Let the burgers rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy on toasted buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, or cheese.
Notes
