Gourmet Garlic Burgers

"We use ground turkey to make these juicy, slightly spicy burgers, but you can use beef if that's your preference. The chopped garlic really makes these special, so don't be afraid to add lots!"

  1. This is honestly the best turkey burger we have ever had, that is a direct quote from the Mom and I agree. I cut the recipe in half and did not have any green onions so I added more garlic. I was doubting that the little bits of each ingredient would really be relevant to the outcome but I played along because I had everything. (except the dang green onions). Great flavor. I formed my burgers with a hole in the center like a donut, but flat, so they would cook more evenly. They were not dry, lots of flavor. I will try this with beef too soon. THIS IS A KEEPER for you turkey burger eaters!
     
  2. These burgers are outstanding. I used lean ground beef and doubled the recipe. I did have some difficulty flipping them because of being to soft but that is fixable by adding more breadcrumbs. I wouldn't call these Garlic Burgers but a Great Meatloaf Burger. My son ate three of these. I thought I cooked enough for tomorrows lunch but he wouldn't stop eating them. That is a great review in itself. These are a true keeper. I served them with grilled sweet corn and my own Cheddar Cheese Grilled Potatoes (steak fries). If you want to add more of a kick to this recipe increase the Tabasco and add 1/4 teaspoon of cayanne.
     
  3. Loved the burger. As said it is very moist but you just have to be careful. I would not BBQ it I pan fried it, got it ready in the AM let it sit for the flavors to meld in the fridge all day and then shaped the patties just before frying I cooked one side on high heat until browned, flipped the burger, turned heat to medium, covered the pan, added the mushrooms and after about 5 minutes turned heat to low and continued cooking for 10 more minutes.One of my hamburger recipes is moist like this one but if you are careful not a problem - just flip carefully and the end result is a lovely tender tasty hamburger - I served them with Baking stone Oven fries, whole small fried mushrooms, Tomatoe and a slice of sweet onion Thanks Geema for another winner
     
  4. Did not like the consistency of these. Maybe it was the turkey. Just not my style.
     
  5. Fabulous! My DH says he doesn't like Turkey burgers but he sure liked these! I cooked em on The George Foreman Grill so I could have the nice grill marks. We had em on onion rolls. MMMMM!!!

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges.&nbsp; As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic.&nbsp;<img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried.&nbsp; But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb.&nbsp; What a complete turn around it was to&nbsp;pass up&nbsp;all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat!&nbsp;<img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p> <p>&nbsp;The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands.&nbsp; Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list.&nbsp; But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p> <p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities.&nbsp; I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago.&nbsp; Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here:&nbsp; <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;When I have time for myself, I love to do all things artistic...drawing, pastels, paper craft, scrapbooking, and most recently jewelry making.&nbsp; I have set up a website on ETSY ( shown on this page by my website)and you can go there and see my creations.<img title=Cool src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></a> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /></p>
