Ingredients
- ½medium onion
- 1bulb green garlic (about 4 ounces)
- 1tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1¼pounds lean ground turkey
- 2tablespoons ketchup
- ¾teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 4hamburger buns, preferably whole-wheat (optional)
- 1tablespoon canola, grapeseed or rice bran oil
- Sliced tomato
- sliced onion
- Iceberg lettuce
- pickles
- sliced red pepper
- ketchup and mustard
For Serving
Preparation
- Step 1
Grate the onion on the medium holes of a grater. You should have about 2 tablespoons grated onion (and a lot of juice, which you can discard). Place in a bowl with the ground turkey, ketchup, salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Trim away the stalk from the garlic and remove the papery outer layers. Chop fine. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small skillet and add the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until it is tender and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley, remove from the heat and add to the turkey mixture. Using a fork, mix ingredients well. Shape into 4 patties without packing too hard.
- Step 3
Heat the canola, grapeseed or rice bran oil on a nonstick griddle or in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. When you can feel the heat when you hold your hand above it, cook the patties for 5 to 7 minutes on each side. Serve with the condiments of your choice.
- Advance preparation: You can make up this turkey burger mix, shape into patties and freeze for 2 or 3 months. Thaw as needed. The mix will keep for a day in the refrigerator, but check the use-by date on the package.

I used regular garlic. Two cloves and was pretty good!
I have a family who loves burgers but many have Alpha Gal (Tick borne and gives many folks allergy to beef).... so I am always looking for good alternatives. I used 1/2 cup of parsley, garlic scapes instead of fresh garlic, since I had just harvested them from my garden, and Worcestershire Sauce rather than catsup. Added in a hit of red pepper flakes and a bit of panko to hold it all together. Everyone raved about them and the burgers stayed together and were not too dry. Yay.
Made this with additional ground turkey left from another recipe. Particularly good with the ketchup that I had purchased from a vendor at our local farmer's market. Also used vendor's onion confit instead of sliced onion for serving.
Instead of parsley used Justice seasoning and two cloves garlic for green garlic
I'm not sure if i'm supposed to use the entire bulb of green garlic and also if i'm using the green stalk. I just bought green garlic for the first time and i'd like to use the entire thing.
