Turkey Burger
I have a bad habit of going to the store and buying ground meat. I think this stems from my childhood where we practically ate ground beef every day of the week: tacos, goulash, Bisquick "pies" of meat and cheese. So I apologize for having a second day of ground meat, but that is what's really in my fridge.
Today we had a package of ground turkey. I had proposed empanadas. CCO thought it was a lot of work since the dough would take an hour to rise. * So we settled on turkey burgers, in that burgers would allow us to use the turkey, massive amount of nun cheese and some of the barbecue sauce I opened for the meatloaf.
Eat Rating: Pretty good -- for a turkey burger.
Difficulty: Super easy.
1 lb ground turkey
1/4 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, diced
1-2 tsp parsley
2 eggs
1/2-3/4 cup bread crumbs
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl with your hands until thoroughly combined. Shape into patties. Grill (we used the Foreman) or pan fry until cooked through. Serve between two slices bread, with cheese.
* Correction: An earlier version of this post attributed to CCO the thought that ground turkey is not flavorful enough for empanadas. He maintains this was not his objection. IL2E regrets the error.
