Mama's Turkey Burgers

Turkey burgers have become quite "trendy" because of their perceived health value. Turns out, they don't seem to offer more nutrition than a traditional beef burger. Nonetheless, I've become a fan.

My mom makes this turkey burger recipe often & they are always a favorite around my house.

The other night, I went over to spend the day with mom & she had a batch of these burgers that she had made and frozen {brilliant mom move -- cook a bunch, eat a little, freeze the rest for later}.

We cooked them up & enjoyed a nice, light summer meal out on the patio.

Here it is:

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey

1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs

1/4 cup applesauce [the "magic" ingredient --that makes them so YUM]

1/4 cup yellow onion, minced

1/4 cup parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon lemon juice

salt and pepper

Putting it ALL Together

Combine ALL ingredients & shape into patties

Grill about 4 - 5 minutes each side.

Yield

4 burgers

We served up the burgers on Arnold Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins. I topped my burger with swiss cheese, tomato, onion and lettuce. I also added a little smear of Kraft Chipotle Mayo.
