MOIST TURKEY BURGERS
I changed the recipe to make these delicious burgers for more people. I caramelized the onions to give it more depth of flavor. I also added Dijon mustard and real garlic instead of garlic powder. I also cut down on the amount of bread crumbs and made them out of whole wheat to make them a little healthier. I also omitted the soy sauce for the same reason. They came out great. The only thing I would do different next time is to give them just a little heat. Enjoy.

LOWFAT TURKEY BURGER RECIPE
Love these. Very high in protein, low in fat. This was originally a hamburger recipe but I changed it a bit to work for turkey breast. The onions make these burgers awesome so be sure and include them. These arn't really for grilling more for baking because they don't hold together well. Does work alright if they are frozen first.
