- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Preparation
In a medium bowl, mix the ground turkey with sage, fennel, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper.
Use your hands to form five round, flattened patties.
Add the coconut oil to a large skillet and allow it to warm for 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat.
