I wanted a burger, but lately I’ve been trying to avoid eating junk (for the most part) so I decided to switch over to a turkey burger. In my brief experience with turkey burgers though, it is a bit of a challenge to keep them from being dry. To try and avoid this, I made some minor adaptations.
I used a pound of turkey burger and about a half cup of frozen onions and frozen green peppers (both defrosted) and dumped all of that into a big bowl. In the big bowl, I mashed and folded the mixture until the green peppers and onions were mixed into the meat. Then I formed them into patties that were a bit larger than the buns I had.

I cooked the burgers on a Foreman Grill (since I have no real grill – this will be fixed soon. I’m looking at one with a smoker). I put them on a bun with A-1 and some pre-made cole slaw.

The peppers and onions were really good, but I think hot peppers or chopped mushrooms would also be great. Again, as I’ve said before on this blog – adapt your food to add things that YOU like, not just blindly doing things. You’ll enjoy your food a lot more and be much more likely to eat at home, save money and enjoy doing it (not to mention eating healthier).
