TURKEY MEATLOAF BURGERS

Turkey Meatloaf Burgers image

A meatloaf style turkey burger that's moist and flavorful. My kids love these burgers and don't realize it's a lighter alternative to beef burger. My kids just slap on some mayo and head to town. Great served with lettuce, tomato, and your choice of condiments, with a side of chips or raw crispy veggies.

2 pounds ground turkey
1 ⅓ cups seasoned bread crumbs
1 small onion - grated, and juice drained
2 eggs
3 tablespoons applesauce
2 teaspoons chili powder

The combination of the egg and the aioli makes this burger special. Grab a few napkins, it can get deliciously messy!When assembling the burger I recommend you spread the aioli on the bottom bun so the top bun is available for the egg.
