1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped cabbage and onion, cooking until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cooking for another minute.
3. Transfer the cooked cabbage mixture to a large bowl. Add the ground turkey or beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
4. Shape the mixture into burger patties, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. I like to make them slightly larger than the buns to get that satisfying bite.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and golden brown on top. Be sure to check halfway and flip them for even cooking.
6. While the patties are baking, you can prep your burger toppings. If cheese is your thing, pop a slice on each patty during the last few minutes of baking for a melty finish.
7. Once done, assemble your burgers with your choice of bun and toppings. Enjoy the delicious aroma wafting through your kitchen!

I still remember the first time I recreated a recipe from my travels — it was like bringing a piece of my journey into my home. These burgers can do the same, offering a taste of comfort and exploration all at once.
