Instructions

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F / 190–200°C).
• In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the 1 large egg white until slightly frothy. Add the ¼ cup dried breadcrumbs and stir to combine.
• Add the ¼ cup grated carrot, ¼ cup grated onion, ¼ cup finely chopped green bell pepper, ½ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Stir until the vegetables and seasonings are evenly distributed.
• Add the 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese and the 16 ounces lean ground turkey. Mix gently with a fork or your hands until just combined—avoid overmixing.
• Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick.
• (Optional) Chill the patties in the refrigerator 10–15 minutes to help them hold their shape on the grill.
• Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook 5–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are cooked through.
• Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for 2–3 minutes before serving. Serve as patties or in buns with condiments if desired.
