Ahhhh the sights, sounds and scents of summer are in the air. The flowers are in full bloom, the birds are chirping and the grill, well, the grill is grilling. More so now that ever to be honest. And recently I have been whipping up a really good turkey burger. It’s cheesy and juicy and has me wishing I tripled the recipe so there would enough for leftovers!! My kids have even said they like it better than a beef burger! Check out the recipe below and give it try. Your taste buds will thank me!

Turkey Burger Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground turkey 93/7 (double all ingredients if making for more than 4 )
• 1 large egg
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon of poultry seasoning
• 1/4 cup of shredded cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon cold milk
• 4 slices cheddar or american cheese
• Additional burger topping of choices: pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.
• 4 burger buns (my crew likes potato buns)

Instructions

• Place ground turkey into a large bowl with egg, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, parsley, shredded cheddar cheese and milk. Stir or hand mix to combine all ingredients {Mixture may seem a little wet or sticky, but once it starts cooking, they will hold its shape)
• Divide meat into 4 patties. TIP– If patties are not firm enough, throw them in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
• Preheat grill to medium-medium high heat.
• Spray grill with non-stick spray
• Place burgers on pre heated grill and grill 5-7 mins each side. Or until internal temperature is 165 degrees.
• Once burgers are grilled to your liking, add cheese.
• Remove burgers and place onto buns. Top with desired toppings and condiments and serve.
