Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some minced garlic or Worcestershire sauce with the beef. If you're out of parsley, fresh basil or cilantro can be delicious substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Yes, you can substitute ground turkey for ground beef in this recipe. However, since turkey is leaner, you might want to add a tablespoon of olive oil or another fat to keep the patties moist and flavorful. Adjust the cooking time slightly, as turkey may cook faster.
How can I make these patties spicier?
To add spice, consider mixing in chopped jalapeños, crushed red pepper flakes, or your favorite hot sauce into the beef mixture. Alternatively, you could serve the patties with a spicy aioli or chipotle mayo to enhance their heat without altering the main recipe.
What cheese works best for these patties?
Cheddar cheese is a classic choice for these patties, providing a nice melt and flavor. However, feel free to experiment with pepper jack for a spicy kick, or even blue cheese for a more robust flavor. Just ensure the cheese slices are thin for easy melting during cooking.
