Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 pound ground turkey, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently with a fork until evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: Form the mixture into 4 equal patties, each about 1 inch thick.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Step 4: Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
  5. Step 5: While the burgers cook, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl to make the vinaigrette.
  6. Step 6: Place each cooked patty on a large butter lettuce leaf and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the vinaigrette per burger.
