These turkey patties are bright, herby, and satisfying in a way that feels far more special than a weeknight dinner has any right to be. Fresh sage and lemon zest do the heavy lifting here, giving the ground turkey a fragrant, almost floral lift that pairs beautifully with the subtle depth of garlic-infused olive oil. So many store-bought patties and pre-seasoned blends sneak in condiments or spice mixes that can be a real problem for anyone avoiding mustard — but every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward, so you stay in full control. The thumb-dimple trick keeps each patty flat and even as it cooks, and that undisturbed sear in the skillet builds a gorgeous golden crust you'd be proud to put on any plate. A squeeze of fresh lemon right before eating ties everything together and makes the whole dish pop. These are equally at home tucked into a bun, sliced over greens, or served simply with a side of roasted vegetables.

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.
