Turkey Burgers

Are you mood for a healthier choice, yet something different?  If so, I have the perfect suggestion for you...turkey burgers.  I make them sort of unique, so bare with me and have an open mind.  They'll taste fantastic!  Admittedly, the first time I set out to cook this creation, I was nervous.  Now, it's a favorite that my family plus love that is often repeated.

Turkey Burger Recipe
1 lb Purdue Lean Ground Turkey
3 Scallion Pieces minced
1 Large Celery Stalk minced
1 Can of Del Monte Half Pears, mince two (save the rest for something else)
3 Tablespoons of Chopped Walnuts
1 Pack of Hamburger Buns


Seasonings Needed - Parsley, Pepper, Marjoram, and Savory.

Please not that you will also need a medium or large size tray or foil pan and Extra Virgin Olive Oil to cook burgers.  I prefer a medium size disposable foil pain.

Directions:

Place turkey into a mixing bowl.  Add walnuts plus all minced items and seasonings.  Season to taste, however, I like to cover the entire top with each seasoning.  Add pear juice from the can then mix with hands all together.  Cover the top with seasonings again, then mix again.  Once everything has thoroughly combined start shaping meat into individual burgers.  As you form burgers place them in the foil pan and put into refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour. Placing them in the fridge makes the turkey burgers moist and delicious.

After the appropriate time has passed, place frying pan over a medium-high heat and line the pan with olive oil.  Cook burgers for approximately six minutes on each side or until done (remember turkey burgers have a slightly lighter hue than beef).  Place in buns and serve with whatever you like.

FYI, I usually serve turkey burgers with baked french fries and a spinach salad.

Good luck and enjoy!
