Wednesday, July 11, 2007 Turkey Burgers

According to the Mayo Clinic, "substituting ground turkey breast for ground beef sheds about 200 calories, 7 grams of fat and 4 grams of saturated fat."

Thanks to my sister-in-law, Elizabeth, here's a great recipe for turkey burgers that is quickly becoming a favorite AND a great way to use summer herbs.

1 ½ lb. lean ground turkey
½ c. breadcrumbs
½ small onion, minced
2 T. chopped fresh parsley
4 fresh basil leaves thinly sliced
1 T. mayo
1 T. Dijon mustard
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 T. hot sauce
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper

4 hamburger buns

Combine first 11 ingredients and form 4 patties. (Do not over mix; burgers will be mushy). Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper (optional) and grill on lightly oiled rack over medium-high heat 6-7 min. on each side until completely done. Remove from grill, cover loosely and let rest about 5 minutes.
