Instructions

1. 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.
2. 2Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and form each into a patty approximately ½ inch thick; set aside on a plate.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 7Assemble each burger by placing one patty on the bottom half of a bun and topping as desired.
8. 8Divide the cooled burgers evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm, storing buns separately to prevent sogginess.
