Turkey Burgers




I've never worked with ground turkey before; usually I make burgers with ground beef. I think I'll be using turkey from now on because it's substantial and tasty without being overpowering or heavy.






Turkey Burgers:

1 ½ lb ground turkey
1 large button mushroom (or 2-3 small ones), diced
1/3 yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
½ cup panko or regular bread crumbs
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp Worcestershire
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients together, form into large, slightly flat patties (meat will shrink and puff up when cooking). In a medium frying pan over medium-high heat, heat ½ tablespoon oil or spray with Pam and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes.

Makes 4-5 patties.
