Ground turkey gets a serious upgrade here, seasoned with fresh sage, bright lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a whisper of thyme that makes every bite feel intentional. Garlic-infused olive oil does double duty — it goes into the mix for flavor and into the pan for a gorgeous, deep golden sear that you just can't rush. The thumb-dimple trick pressed into each patty before cooking is a small step that makes a real difference, keeping them flat and even all the way through. Lean ground turkey can sometimes feel dry or bland, but the combination of fresh herbs, citrus, and good olive oil keeps these juicy and full of Mediterranean character. Everything comes together in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more time actually enjoying dinner. A squeeze of lemon at the table ties it all together and makes the flavors pop even more. These patties work beautifully over a simple salad, tucked into a wrap, or alongside roasted vegetables for a clean, satisfying meal any night of the week.

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.
