Instructions
- 1In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, soy sauce, grated Parmesan, and panko breadcrumbs, using your hands to mix until just combined—do not overmix.
- 2Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty approximately ½ inch thick; set aside on a plate.
- 3Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to preheat for 2–3 minutes until a drop of water sizzles on contact.
- 4Add the turkey patties to the skillet and cook for 5–6 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and release easily from the pan.
- 5Flip each patty and cook for another 5–6 minutes until the second side is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest patty reads 165°F.
- 6Toast the hamburger buns in the same skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden, then remove to a plate.
- 7Assemble each burger by placing one patty on the bottom half of a bun and topping as desired.
- 8Divide the cooled burgers evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm, storing buns separately to prevent sogginess.
