Perfect Turkey Burgers

On the quest to becoming healthier eaters my DH and I often have bought ground turkey to replace the ground beef in our recipes. Unfortunately the simplest of these has been the hardest to achieve. The elusive perfect turkey burger has been a tough thing to figure out. I was about to resign myself to a life of dull, flavourless, dry turkey burgers until I found this! It should make about 6 burgers...4-5 if you like them a little heftier.

Tools:
Mixing bowl
Grill
Spatula
Meat Thermometer
Hands...they are the best mixing tool for this job!

Ingredients: 

• 1 3/4 lbs. ground turkey - any less it will be too salty any more it won't have the deep flavor!

• 1 package dry Onion Soup mix 

• Ground black pepper to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

• 1 1/2 tablespoons of reduced sodium Soy Sauce - regular soy will be wicked salty

• 1 Egg, lightly beaten

• Hamburger buns

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix the turkey with the onion soup mix, pepper, garlic powder, soy sauce, and egg. It's going to be very squishy and you will be tempted to add bread crumbs. Don't! Refrigerate the mixture about 10 minutes, then form patties. 

2. Preheat the grill for medium-high heat.

3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the patties on the grill. Cook until well done or center has reached 155 degrees Fahrenheit. The inside of the burgers will look whitish in color when cooked through. Serve on buns.
