Hamburgers are for Memorial Day, but I had a hankering for a turkey burger. I found a recipe at Allrecipes.com that sounded good. Their recipe used three pounds of meat. I had only 1.3 pounds of ground turkey, so I adjusted the recipe. I also made some little tweeks to the mix.
Here's the link to the Allrecipe's site: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/39748/actually-delicious-turkey-burgers/
Here's how I made my burgers:
I got a bowl and mixed up -
1.3 lbs. lean ground turkey
1/8 cup one minute oatmeal (substitute for seasoned bread crumbs)
A couple of shakes of Italian seasoning (because I didn't use the seasoned bread crumbs)
1/8 cup finely diced onion - less if you don't love onion
1/8 cup egg white
About 1 tsp. dried parsley
1 very small clove crushed, fresh garlic
A scant 1/2 tsp. of salt
Freshly ground black pepper to your taste
Cook in a medium skillet, turning once. Allrecipes recommends cooking to an internal temperature of 180°. I also found another recipe that recommended cooking to an internal temperature of 160°. Just cook it until it's well done but not dried out. I melted pepper jack cheese over my burger before wrapping it in a bun.
Weather wise this was a lousy Memorial Day, and I couldn't detect the smell of grilling anywhere in the neighborhood. I'm betting that these burgers would be even better hot off the grill.
