    Turkey burger is a weekly staple for me. Had one the other day with a "fried" egg and portabella mushrooms, spinach and feta with a One Bun (ozery bakery) and it was definitely no cheat night. I get a little more creative with my cheat meals. :)

    wow. Pics or it didn't happen!!

    I love it when people gourmet stuff up. That burger sounds so awesome I could taste it, lol.

    I totally foodstagrammed it but I don't know how to share pics on mobile.

    Okay, since we're all talking about our TB faves:
    • Crusty, day old french bread grated (not to finely) into crumbs,
    • An Egg
    • a little bit of worcestshire sauce (or soy) for seasoning
    BAM (yummilicous)

    Like @SophiaSerraoI like mine with an Avocado (but I'm from Cali so that's a given)
    Thanks @Queenmunchy , I'll try it with veggies mixed in next time (just not KALE.. :( )

    I am right now totally thinking of a juicy burger with ground sausage and cheese and topped with a fried egg and maybe some avocado. All that on a brioche bun with some fried onions and mushrooms too. I got a recipe out of this thread after all :)

    I grate a zucchini and squish put the water and add to the turkey mix. Keeps them moist.

    Cwolfman......can you please take your debate elsewhere? It's changing the pleasant tone of this thread. Thank you.

    he's making a ton of sense.
    perhaps the issue is your sensitivity.

    The thread is positive except for the continual debate over turkey vs beef etc. It changes the tone just like countless other threads. Are you here to discuss delicious turkey burger recipes?

    Except she never provided the turkey burger recipe. There is no recipe here! And pointing out that beef and turkey are, nutritionally, almost identical isn't really a debate.

    the point of mentioning the option of beef was explained, i believe, but i will try to reiterate so you understand the value of it being discussed.

    the OP seems to classify a burger (beef i'm assuming) as a "cheat meal" (which is oh so wrong), and adds the implication that turkey is a "healthy" alternative to beef. therein lies the issue.

    the point of equating beef to turkey in terms of macros is to help someone, who may be new at this, realize that while beef *can* have more fat (not that fat is bad), it certainly doesn't always.

    this can be helpful when choosing what to eat, and if someone has learned that beef ain't the devil, then it was a good thing to bring up, wouldn't you say? i thought so.

    as for recipes, sure....here's one.

    thanksgiving burger...

    -ground turkey
    -your favorite stuffing (prepared. stove top works just fine here, but a nice pepperidge farm cornbread stuffing works too.)
    -cranberry sauce (i prefer jellied ocean spray but use your own favorite)
    -sliced sharp cheddar or the cheese of your choice
    -mayonaise (dont skimp on this...the fat is satiating)
    -brioche buns
    -sea salt

    mix the stuffing in with the meat and incorporate well.

    form nice fat patties, salt liberally, and grill/broil to your liking. add the cheese on top and let it melt.
    lightly grill/broil the brioche buns and slather with mayo.
    pop the cooked patty on the bottom half of the bun, top with a slice of delicious jellied cranberry sauce, put the hat on that bad boy and enjoy.

    you can add lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, onions...whatever if you like them. but i find the thanksgiving flavor comes from the combo of the ingredients mentioned above and only those.
