Turkey Burgers - esgunn - 05-17-2006

Hi Everyone. I am in search of a recipe for kid friendly Turkey Burgers. Does anyone have a recipe of a moist and flavorful - not spicy - turkey burger?

There's a recipe for Turkey Burgers with BBQ'd Red Onions in Issue 34. It's served with Chipotle Mayonnaise, but you can leave that off for the little ones. Do you have that issue? If not, I can post the recipe if you are interested.

Yes, could you please post it. I am only missing two or three issues and that is one of them.

I thought I would share the recipe I came up with tonight for Turkey Burgers. It was good and the kids really liked it. I will try the CAH recipe when Steve is back home. Actually I used about three CAH recipes to guide me on these.


1 pkg Ground Turkey
1/4 cup apple sauce
3 shakes worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup chopped dried cranberries
Garlic Salt
Steak seasoning
Montery Jack or Pepper Jack cheese

Mix together and with garlic salt and steak seasoning to your taste. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes each side. Melt cheese on burgers. My bigger burger took a little longer.

I served mine on a grilled portabello mushroom toped with fresh baby spinach leaves, the burger with pepper jack cheese and sliced avacado. It was yummy. The kids really liked it with regular monterey jack cheese on a bun.
