# Ingredients:
→ Main ingredients
01 -
1 teaspoon ground sage
02 -
1 lb ground turkey (85% lean)
03 -
1 teaspoon sea salt
04 -
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
05 -
2 tablespoons maple syrup
06 -
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
07 -
½ teaspoon black pepper
08 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
09 -
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
→ Cooking oil
10 -
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for frying)
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a big bowl and gently stir together the ground turkey, maple syrup, vinegar, salt, and all the seasonings. Go slow with a spatula so everything mixes evenly.
02 -
Split the turkey mix into 8 parts, around 2 ounces per portion. Roll each into a ball by hand, then gently press them down. Aim for 3 inches wide and about half an inch thick. Keep them the same size for even cooking.
03 -
Warm up about ½ tablespoon olive oil in a decent-sized skillet over medium heat. Toss a few patties in the pan, but don’t crowd them. Let one side brown for 4–5 minutes, then flip.
04 -
Flip the patties to the other side and finish cooking for another 4–5 minutes. Make sure the inside hits at least 165°F. Take them out and do the same for the rest, adding tiny amounts of olive oil to the pan when needed.
# Notes:
01 -
If the syrup causes quick browning, turn the heat down a bit while cooking.
