turkey burgers

source: unknown

we make alot of turkey burgers around the casteel casa. ground turkey is cheap, easy to find on sale, & healthful. they are especially nice on a night when you don't have much time or energy.

we use this recipe as a base & often times change it up with other ingredients like shredded carrots, shredded zucchini, etc. but we also love it & often make it just as is.

1 pound ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
a few dashes of tabasco {optional, we like chipotle tabasco}
salt & pepper
olive oil


1. mix ground meat with remaining ingredients.

2. divide meat into 4 patties.

3. heat 1-2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat.  {you can also grill them!} cook the patties for 7-8 minutes on each side. {use a tent of foil over top to minimize splattering.}

serve with cheese melted over top on a bun with your favorite burger toppings.
