Turkey Burgers

The weather is warming which means it's time to turn off the oven and fire up the BBQ. Let's kick it off with a great burger. And there is none better than one made from scratch. It's not hard. All the ingredients go in one bowl. Then get your hands in there, mix it up and make some patties!
1 lb ground turkey
1 egg, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp thyme, fresh, chopped
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp onion or shallot, minced
2 tbsp celery, minced
4 mushrooms, minced
1/4 cup gouda, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan
1/4 cup bread crumbs or crushed crackers
1 tsp lemon juice

  • form into patties of desired size and grill until done (juices should run clear)
  • serve on a toasty bun with any of your favourite fixings.
  • Since my BBQ is already hot, I'd grill some vegetables like peppers and zucchini. And more cheese never hurt.
