Instructions

1. 1Combine the ground turkey, fresh sage, dried thyme, garlic powder, smoked paprika, maple syrup, salt, and freshly cracked pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
2. 2Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, portion the meat mixture into 10 equal portions. Gently flatten each portion into a patty about 3 inches wide and 1/4 inch thick.
3. 3Add the vegetable oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until shimmering.
4. 4Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add 5 patties to the skillet. Cook 3–4 minutes over medium heat until the edges look set and the bottom is golden brown, then flip.
5. 5Cook the second side 3–4 minutes over medium heat until browned and the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with an instant-read thermometer.
6. 6Transfer the cooked patties to a clean plate. Repeat steps 4–5 with the remaining 5 patties, adding more oil to the skillet if needed.
7. 7Let the patties cool for 5 minutes, then divide evenly into 5 airtight meal prep containers (2 patties per container) while still warm. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
