Turkey Burgers Recipe

While we were in San Diego, we ate some of the most delicious food I've ever had.  Seriously -- it was all so good.  Our first meal there was at Hodad's, which is a burger joint that was actually visited by Food Network's Guy Fieri and featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I know you're thinking, it's just a burger; how good can it really be? And let me tell you, I am not a burger person, but it was hands-down the best bacon cheeseburger I've ever had.  Not to mention the strawberry shake I had was insane, and the fries and onion rings were perfect.

Tonight I made some burgers for Byron and me.  Were they as good as our vacation burgers?  No, but they were undoubtedly much better for us and still delish...not to mention they are so simple to cook!  I make the patties fairly small [as far as a hamburger goes], so we eat them on toasted whole wheat English Muffins.  I even chopped some potatoes and baked some fries to finish off our dinner.

Turkey Burgers

Ingredients:
1 lb. lean ground turkey
1 tbs olive oil
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
splash of worcestershire sauce

(Makes about 7 burgers)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375˚.  Mix all of the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.  Once everything is combined, using your hands form patties from the mixture and place on a baking sheet.  (I made 7 burgers to fit on English Muffins)  Place them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes, rotating the tray in the oven halfway through.  Serve on whole wheat English Muffins, topped with pickles, spinach, tomatoes, mustard, and all of your favorite burger toppings.  Enjoy!
