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. Ground turkey gets a serious flavor upgrade here thanks to fresh sage, lemon zest, and a splash of lemon juice that keep every bite light and aromatic. Garlic-infused olive oil does double duty — binding the mixture and building a gorgeous golden crust in the skillet. The thumb-dimple trick pressed into each patty before cooking is a small step that makes a real difference, keeping them flat and evenly cooked all the way through. Many pre-seasoned patties and spice blends sneak in golden-hued additives, so making these from scratch with clearly labeled individual ingredients gives you full control over exactly what goes into the pan. A squeeze of lemon wedge right before eating ties everything together and makes the sage pop even more. These are easy enough for a busy evening but polished enough to serve to guests without a second thought.

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.
