Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil like Canola
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- ½ cup finely diced red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger (optional)
- 1/4 cup green onions (minced)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced) or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground turkey, finely diced red bell pepper, Worcestershire sauce, fresh grated ginger (if using), minced green onions, minced garlic (or garlic powder), chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, and salt. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Preheat the skillet: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, allowing the oil to become hot but not smoking for optimal cooking.
- Form the patties: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the turkey mixture, then flatten each portion between your hands to form evenly sized patties, ensuring they are not too thick for even cooking.
- Cook the patties: Place the patties in the preheated skillet in small batches without overcrowding to ensure proper browning. Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and continue cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check and cook until the internal temperature reaches 170°F (77°C) to ensure they are safely cooked through.
- Repeat and serve: Remove cooked patties and keep warm. Repeat cooking with the remaining turkey mixture. Serve warm and enjoy these savory breakfast patties.
Notes

- Fresh ginger is optional but adds a nice zing to the flavor profile.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to get a nice sear on each patty.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure patties are fully cooked for food safety.
- These patties freeze well, so you can make a batch ahead of time for quick meals.
