Delicious Turkey Burgers.......



For dinner tonight I made Turkey burgers.  These are super simple and quick to make.  Not only are they easy, quick and yummy but they are so much healthier and lower in calories than a traditional burger.  I served these with fresh cut up veggies and some skinny dip.

Ingredients:
 
For Patties-
1 pound of lean ground turkey
1/2 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup of finely diced onion
1 egg white lightly beaten
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 teasoon salt
 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Trimmings-
whole wheat hamburger buns
white american cheese slices
green leaf lettace (or any type you prefer)
light mayo
assorted veggies (we use red onion and tomato)
avocado (optional)


Directions:

In a large bowl mix ground turkey, seasoned bread crumbs, onion, egg whites, parsley, garlic salt, and pepper.  Form into 6 patties

Cook the patties in a medium skillet over medium heat, turning once, to an internal tempeture of 180 degrees or until cooked through.
Remove from skillet and top with one cheese slice.  Set aside

Place buns ( insides down) in skillet to toast.  Remove.  Add mayo to buns, top with Turkey pattie.  Add lettace, veggies and a slice or two of avocado.  Serve
