Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl (Use your fingers, it works the best!). Add more bouillon if you like a stronger beef flavor. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to soak all the flavor.
- Take wax paper, parchment paper or foil and cut 12 square shaped pieces.
- Lay the wax paper down on the counter, and make a patty from the meat and place on top, layer another sheet and patty up to 2 patties. I made 12 patties, but you can make bigger ones than I did.
- Place remaining patties and wax paper in a gallon sized freezer bag. Freeze nicely for up to a month. Pull them out as needed. Great grilled or even just placed in the broiler.
- Cooking time is about 10-15 minutes.

Great moist "burgers". A nice alternative to beef, use the Worcestershire sauce to your taste, but I usually do about 8 shakes--the secret to the moist burger!

Tips:
- Choose the Right Ground Turkey: Opt for ground turkey with a higher fat content (at least 7%) for juicier burgers. If using leaner ground turkey, add some olive oil or butter to the mixture for extra moisture.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A flavorful blend of spices, herbs, and sauces can elevate your turkey burgers to the next level.
- Don't Overwork the Mixture: Mixing the ground turkey too much can make the burgers tough. Mix gently until the ingredients are just combined.
- Form Gentle Patties: Handle the ground turkey mixture gently when forming the patties. Pressing too hard can compact the meat, resulting in dry burgers.
- Use a Thermometer for Perfect Doneness: Cooking turkey burgers to the right internal temperature (165°F) ensures they are cooked thoroughly while remaining moist.
- Add Creative Toppings: Experiment with various toppings to create unique and delicious flavor combinations. From classic cheese and bacon to avocado, salsa, or even a fried egg, the possibilities are endless.
