Lakeside Turkey Burgers

Kari Plevan

Tasty, budget-friendly, and a very lean dinner option!

ingredients

1/2 pound white ground turkey
1/2 pound dark ground turkey
6 sundried tomatoes in olive oil, thinly sliced, plus 2 tablespoons olive oil from the jar
2 tablespoons chopped parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried)
2 tablespoons chopped basil (or 2 teaspoons dried)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
4 whole wheat buns or rolls
4 tablespoons garlic and lemon sandwich spread
Lettuce and sliced tomatoes

directions

1
Place turkey in a bowl. Gently work in sundried tomatoes plus 2 tablespoons oil from the jar, parsley, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Take care not to overwork the mixture.
2
Form into 4 patties, making an indentation in the middle of each one to help the burgers cook evenly. Cover and refrigerate an hour to blend flavors.
3
Grill patties until firm and browned and all pink is gone from center, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve on toasted buns with garlic lemon sandwich spread, lettuce, and tomatoes.

notes

I had packed sundried tomatoes that I soaked in water for a few minutes to soften them up. We spread mayo, doctored up with some chopped garlic and lemon juice, on the buns. Yum! Purple onion slices are also good on top of these burgers!
