Turkey Burgers That ROCK!
By Alice

Many people
are used to DRY pre-made Turkey burgers that have no flavor and are
nothing to write home about! Well this recipe will make you revisit (and
re-think) picking up a frozen bag of burgers again! By making your own homemade
Turkey burgers, you will get more protein, more flavor and a great juicy turkey
burger in less time than it takes to thaw those frozen patties out. Plus, no
preservatives, processed grains and fillers! We left out the breadcrumbs and
substituted egg whites to bind the burgers together.
Turkey
Burgers That ROCK!
In this
version, I serve it on a sandwich thin but my favorite way is to eat it as a
lettuce wrap. Pile leaves of bibb or butter lettuce together to make a top and
bottom “bun” and you will get additional veggies and extra crunch too!
I like to
make extras and freeze the burgers after I cook them. They are easy to thaw and
take for lunch or dinners in a pinch!
Turkey
Burgers (Serves 4)
·
20oz Package
lean ground turkey

2 Cloves
garlic – finely minced

½ of a small
yellow onion (finely diced)

balsamic vinegar

Combine all
ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Take a small amount of mixture out
and fry on griddle to make sure it is seasoned to your liking… taste. (I always
do this before making the whole batch).
**Adjust
seasoning if necessary. Divide mixture in 4 to make (4) 5oz patties. Fry on
griddle until cooked through (approximately 6-7 minutes per side).

Bibb lettuce, tomato, onion slices, pickles and
favorite condiments. (Be careful to limit your condiments to a few
teaspoons, as they can add significant calories to your meal quickly).
