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.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions in the hot oil until tender and lightly browned, about 15 minutes; transfer to a large bowl.
- Mix bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, poultry seasoning, ground mustard, pepper, and salt with the onion. Break the turkey into small pieces into the bowl; mix with the bread crumb mixture until evenly combined. Shape the turkey mixture into 12 patties; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 20 minutes.
- Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat.
- Cook the patties in the hot skillet until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

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.

Steps:
- Slice up onions and satuee them in butter until dark and carmalized.
- Set aside and allow to cool for 3 minutes.
- While onions are cooler remove turkey from wrapping and put in a large bowl.
- Add either 2 whole eggs or 4 egg whites. Add ranch powder. Add Pepper.
- Mix and then add in onions when cool and mix again.
- Will be gooey, cook on foil then freeze or freeze them raw and cook later.
- I cook these on foil at 425 in the oven until brown. Maybe 10 minutes or so max in a convection oven.
ITALIAN TURKEY BURGERS (REDUCED FAT)
I have been playing around lately with trying to make different kinds of reduced fat burgers to go with the low fat eating plan I am on. This is my latest attempt. I used ground turkey breast so that I didn't feel that bad about having a little bit of fat from the sundried tomatoes but at least it is 'good' fats. The cooking time includes the one hour chilling time.

Steps:
- Put the turkey in a bowl and set aside.
- Roughly chop the onion and put it into a food processor or mini chopper along with the basil, red peppers and sun dried tomatoes.
- Blitz the ingredients until the onions and everything else is finely chopped.
- Empty the contents of the food processor into the bowl with the ground turkey.
- Add the garlic powder and the egg white.
- Mix with your hands until everything is well combined.
- Form four equal sized burgers and place on a plate and put into the fridge for an hour to firm up.
- Take the burgers out of the fridge and either pan fry in a little bit of extra virgin olive oily for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked through or do on a Foreman type grill for about 10 minutes total.
- Serve on buns of simply bunless with a salad is watching the calories. If serving with bread it is fun to complete the Italian feel with ciabatta rolls.
