These bright, herby turkey patties are the kind of weeknight dinner that feels a little special without any extra effort. Fresh sage and lemon zest do the heavy lifting here, giving each patty a fragrant, citrusy punch that pairs beautifully with the mild richness of ground turkey. Garlic-infused olive oil works double duty — binding the mixture and creating a gorgeous golden crust in the skillet. The thumb-dimple trick keeps the patties flat and even as they cook, so you get consistent results every time without any fuss. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies or sensitivities, this recipe is naturally free of chestnuts and other nut-based ingredients, relying entirely on clean, straightforward pantry staples. A squeeze of fresh lemon at the table ties everything together and makes the whole plate feel bright and restaurant-worthy. These are just as good tucked into a wrap or served alongside roasted vegetables as they are on their own.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, 1 tbsp of the garlic-infused olive oil, chopped sage, lemon zest, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix with your hands until just combined — do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and press each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Press a shallow dimple into the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly without puffing.
