Turkey Burgers

A healthier option than the usual hamburger, turkey burgers are growing in popularity everywhere. But unlike beef, you can't just mold them into a patty and slap them on the grill -- they fall apart, the meet is too dry to taste even remotely decent when cooked, and the end result will be so discouraging that you give up altogether.

Turkey burgers need a little more love, a little more help, but when done right, they're worth it! Here's how I do it:

1 pound of ground turkey meat (can either get 99% fat free which is all white, or 93% fat free, which has some dark meat added)
1 egg
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1 small onion, finely diced (adds flavor and moisture)
1 tablespoon of your favorite seasoning mix for poultry - I like using either herbs de provence or Tastefully Simple's Garlic Dill mix, but you can use whatever you like best

If your seasoning mix is missing either salt and/or pepper, add a pinch of each.

Mix together just until well blended, but don't over-mix or the meat will totally fall apart and be rock hard when cooked.

Form into 4-5 patties, cook until well done, and serve on a whole grain bun. Ketchup is fine as a condiment, but instead, try honey mustard as a more tasty alternative!
