Combine all ingredients for the turkey patties (ground turkey, scallion, parsley, garlic, salt, cayenne, ginger, and chili flakes) in a medium-sized bowl .
Mix until everything is evenly combined. Do not overwork, so you’ll get a better texture.
Divide the turkey mixture into four equal parts. Flatten gently to form the turkey patties.
Heat 1T oil and 1 T butter together in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the turkey patties in the skillet for 5 to 8 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 160ºF (71ºC). Make sure to give a good sear to the turkey patties so they’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Remove from the skillet and set aside.
