**Turkey Lemon Thyme Burgers**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound ground turkey
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– Burger buns
– Lettuce, tomato, and condiments of your choice
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, fresh thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients until they are evenly distributed throughout the turkey meat.
2. Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the burger patties. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the burgers reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are no longer pink in the center.
4. While the burgers are cooking, you can prepare your buns and toppings. Toast the burger buns in a separate skillet or in the oven until they are lightly golden brown.
5. Once the burgers are cooked through, assemble your Turkey Lemon Thyme Burgers by placing the patties on the toasted buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments.
6. Serve the burgers hot and enjoy the fresh and flavorful combination of turkey, lemon, and thyme in each delicious bite.
