Servings:

In a large bowl add, turkey, seasonings, onions and Worcestershire sauce. Mix with your hands well, make sure everything is evenly mixed. Form 6-7 patties about 2 inches big.
In a large non-stick pan or on a preheated Blackstone, add oil. Once it's heated, add one turkey burger at a time. Use a greased burger smasher or a greased spatula to press the turkey patty flat immediately into the pan. Add another burger, repeat the process and try to be sure they don't touch. On a the Blackstone, 4 should fit at a time. On a skillet typically 2-3 at the most.
After about 3 minutes, flip the burger. It should be browned with bits of char. Let it cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Add the cheese as soon as you flip.
Lay sliced cheese over the burgers, if there is room, add the buns sliced side down to toast a bit. Take everything off after the skillet and layer burger buns with patties, and favorite toppings. Enjoy!

You can use beef if desired - equally delicious.
If the spatula is sticking to the meat when pressing down, just spritz it with a little oil.
Soy Sauce will work in place of Worcestershire sauce
Cook these on a Blackstone or on the skillet, both work great.
Have patience on your first flip. It needs to char first so make sure you don't flip too early.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze these for up to 2 months.
