Preparation

Step 1

Mix all ingredients until just combined. Overworking the mixture can result in tough burgers. Heat a non-stick skillet to medium low heat. Divide the meat mixture into 4 round balls. Flatten the burgers with your hand and press your thumb in the center of each burger to keep the meat from rising too high as it cooks. Spray skillet. Cook the burgers about 5-6 minutes per side, flipping only once, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

My neighbor's 6yo grandson, who thought it was a "regular" burger, said it was the best hamburger he ever ate! We didn't tell him it was turkey! These were really good.

Wouldn't change a thing. Serve on Arnold's. Tzatziki sauce, grilled yellow squash and onions and SP fries.
