Instructions

Prep Cabbage and Aromatics: Finely shred 200 g (2 cups) of green cabbage, then mince 1 small (100 g) yellow onion.
Mix Patty Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cabbage, minced onion, egg, panko breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overmix to prevent tough patties.
Form Burgers: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into uniform patties, about 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick.
Cook Patties: Heat 30 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil in a large 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd, and sear for 5-7 minutes per side until deeply golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 71 degrees C or 160 degrees F).
Rest and Serve: Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and let them rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute. Serve immediately on buns with your favorite toppings.

Notes

If you overmix, the patties can become tough, so stop as soon as everything is incorporated. Resting the patties for 2-3 minutes after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender burger. Ground turkey can be swapped for ground beef, and crushed crackers or quick oats can replace panko breadcrumbs.
