Turkey Burgers

I used to think turkey burgers were bland, the ugly stepsister of the more robust hamburger.

Then I started tinkering around...

And now, I think I prefer the turkey burgers I make to the ones made from beef. Try these and see what you think.

Rick’s Turkey Burgers(Serves 4 or two hungry men)

Ingredients
1 lb. ground turkey
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, finely chopped
1-tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1-teaspoon stone ground mustard
1 egg
¼ cup bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste

Top with cheese, if desired (I like sharp Cheddar)

Directions
Combine all, form into 4 patties and fry or grill (I make thick patties so my burgers take 5-6 minutes per side). I like to serve with sliced avocado, tomato and more mustard.
