Tasty, moist turkey burgers

[VanTrekker]

This is an adaptation of a recipe from the "Cooking with a Cardiologist" class that was put on at the local grocery store.&nbsp; I added more spice and celery.&nbsp; <br /><br />These turkey burgers are quite moist and have an excellent flavor yet are a lot healthier than a 1/4 pound McRonald Burger...&nbsp; They are also super fast to mix up... I'm going to premix a batch before the camping trip next week.<br /><br />1 lb 93% lean ground turkey&nbsp; (do not use the 99% stuff)<br />1/3 cup pizza sauce (or salsa.&nbsp; I prefer the "tang" of the pizza sauce)<br />1/3 t cumin (I use 1/2 t)<br />1/3 t cayenne (or more... I use a full 1/2 t)<br />1/4 cup finely diced celery (or onion if you wish)<br /><br /><br />Mix all&nbsp;together until well blended and form into patties.&nbsp; The meat will be very moist and mushy.&nbsp; If grilling, put them on foil or they will fall right through the grates.&nbsp; The patties&nbsp;are easier to pan fry or cook&nbsp;with a&nbsp;the George Foreman grill.&nbsp; Toward the end of the cooking process, I like to&nbsp;sprinkle on&nbsp;some jalapeno flavored seasoning (which is mostly salt).&nbsp; <br />Cook all the way through - the burgers will firm up very nicely.<br /><br />This is such a fun, tasty alternative to beef.&nbsp; The celery adds a lot of flavor and cooks down till it's soft.<br /><br />V.T.

DW makes a dish called turkey burger surprise usingTB and it's great. If she were here right now I'd get the exact recipe. But, basically you brown a lb of TB in a skillet, then add a can of whole tomatoes, can of kidney beans, can of whole corn, a bell pepper chopped finely, salt and pepper to taste&nbsp;and let simmer for awhile. Can add hot peppers if you like.
