Turkey Burgers

1 lb. ground turkey
1/4 cup chopped banana peppers
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
salt & peper to taste

In a bowl, mix the ground turkey, peppers and feta. Season with salt & pepper. Form 4 patties. Cook on grill or stove for 8 mins on each side (or until 180 degrees F). Serve on hamburger buns.



Ingredients:
1 pound raw lean ground turkey
1 cup finely chopped fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1 finely chopped small red onion
2 eggs
3 tbsp. finely chopped flat leaf parsley
3 tbsp. Dijonnaise
3 tbsp. ketchup
2 tsp. crushed garlic
salt and pepper to taste 

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and mash together by hand until integrated.   Add more equal amounts of Dijonnaise and ketchup if you’d like the mixture more moist. Form into  3/4 of an inch thick patties.

Cook on a med heat charcoal grill  or grill pan on the stove.  Cook for about 7 minutes on both sides, or until patty is fully cooked.  Serve on a bun with your favorite toppings.  You can even add cheese if you like.   These burgers are so good, you won’t want the cheese.

Will make 4-6 serving depending on patty size
