Turkey Burgers

 

I admit that I have summer on the brain.  The kids have just a couple more weeks of school and then it's officially summer vacation for this family.  I've already gotten into summer cooking mode - I'm craving burgers and salads.  My favorite burgers? -  turkey burgers.

Grilled Basil Turkey Burgers
1 egg                                         1 garlic clove
1/3 cup onion                            salt and pepper
¼ cup Parmesan cheese            1 pound ground turkey
fresh basil                                  1/8 cup ketchup

Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl.

I had my favorite"meat mixer" combine all of the ingredients together by hand.






 
Shape into a loaf.

Divide loaf into 6 equal pieces.







Shape into patties.  Place patties on waxed paper and refrigerate 4 hours.

Grill 10 minutes on each side.

Remove from grill and place on paper towel lined platter.

While the patties drain, prepare the topping for the burgers.  (I like my burger to look more like a salad than a burger.)  I chose avocado, tomato and lettuce.

Serve the turkey burgers on wheat buns for a healthy "summertime" dinner.

Yum.  Now I'm even more ready for summer vacation.  Let the countdown begin.

Ciao!
