Ultimate Turkey Burger

Also over the weekend, I made the Ultimate Turkey Burgers.  I was a little skeptical on these, but they were outstanding.  The flavor was to die for.  Juicy burger with a ton of flavor.  These will definitely be added to our “make often” list.  We just finished them up today for lunch.  YUM!

ULTIMATE TURKEY BURGERS

Serves 6

1.5 lbs ground turkey
1 medium red pepper, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp parsley, finely minced (or freeze-dried parsley)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients together well. Place about 1/3 cup of mixture between two sheets of waxed paper. Press firmly into a patty that is 4 inches wide and about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with remaining mixture until you have 6 patties. Chill in freezer for 30 minutes before grilling time.

Using a spatula, place patties carefully on grill over medium-high heat. Grill 3 to 4 minutes, and then flip. Grill for another 3 to 4 minutes or until burgers are golden brown and firm in the middle.

Serve burgers on whole-grain buns with a selection of fresh vegetables for toppings, such as sliced tomato, lettuce, and onion.
