"actually delicious turkey burgers"

I have always wanted to try a turkey burger, and what better day than Independence Day?!

I stumbled upon this recipe while perusing allrecipes.com. "Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers". 4.5 out of 5 stars. 1,210 reviews. Why not give it a try, right?

Here it is:

Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers

via allrecipes.com


Makes about 12 patties.

3 pounds ground turkey (I used 85% lean)
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used Italian)
1/4 cup finely diced onion
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

*I did add slightly less than 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, because I had some on hand, and a little cheese never hurt a burger - in fact, I might top mine with pepper jack!

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together. And form patties - about 12 (I froze about half of the patties for future meals).

The recipe says to cook on medium heat in a skillet, but I will be* cooking mine on a grill.

*Note the "will be", I haven't actually cooked the patties yet, but they are prepared and waiting for the 4th of July barbecuing festivities to begin! Verdict on the finished products to come.

I will be topping mine with pepper jack, lettuce, tomato, onion, and possibly avocado..

Cannot wait!
