Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick, pressing a shallow dimple into the center of each with your thumb to prevent doming during cooking.

Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the patties and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deep golden brown and releases easily from the pan.
