Turkey Burger
"Lean, mean burger that partners well with a wheat bun and baked fries."

- Serves:
-
4
ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey breast
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
- salt
- pepper
- 1 egg
directions
- Mix all together. Squish down a little in the bowl that you mixed it in and draw two lines intersecting. These are your 4 burgers.
- Pull out each pie shaped wedge and make little balls. Squish down a little to make a patty.
- Grill on preheated grill on the top rack with the lid closed for 6 minutes. Flip once and grill the same way for another 6 minutes.
- Check with thermometer. Don't squish with spatula or you lose juices. It's a very squishy burger and doesn't like to be flipped a lot either.
- I sprayed the burgers to help make sure they don't stick, but not 100% sure that's necessary.

This was excellent! The diet I am on limits me to chicken, turkey breast, and white fish essentially. This was a great way to get the turkey to be moist and flavorful. I substituted egg white for the egg just to lower the fat content a bit and it was still perfect. Thanks for the recipe! -
I have had turkey burgers that are dry, tasteless and thus have never been a big fan. These have just enough flavor and added moisture to make them really delicious. I served it with mixed greens on top. onion, tomato and spicy brown mustard. YUM.<br/><br/>I will likely use this a lot and add additional spices as I see fit!

I enjoyed this recipe. It's easy to make and uses ingredients you probably have on hand. Taste is good, nothing spicy but still rather nice. -
Great, easy recipe. thank you. I think this would be a fun one to play with add ins as well. I added in some hickory smoke flavoring. yum. -
Very good, juicy turkey burger. I thought it was a tad on the bland side though (we're used to spicy stuff, so I may be way off!). I used a dash of A-1 on the grilled patty and that helped a bit. Thanks for the recipe, I will definitely use again!

<p>I became a vegetarian (again) in October 2008. I like to experiment and tend to use recipes as a suggestion. I like all types of flavors but cook mostly Mexican and Italian dishes. <br /> <br />I store my recipes in a notebook with sheet protectors for a few. I'm in the process of moving my favorites to here. I also posted recipes that I found interesting but haven't tried yet.</p>
