    When mixing mine:

    ground turkey
    that "w" sauce
    diced onion
    Chia paste (I let the chia seeds soak in the water, instructions on the back of the bag)
    salt
    pepper
    diced garlic
    a tiny tiny bit of dijon mustard.

    That's my basic. Pretty much have fun mixing it up. You can also take any "hamburger" recipe and roll into balls for meatballs. Take the balls and smash into muffin pan for mini-loaves (great for meatloaf sandwiches). Or the basic, throw it in the bread pan and make meatloaf. Although for meatloaf I add diced red pepper, yellow squash, zucchini, a bit of breadcrumb, egg white, and bbq sauce.

    Soooo Good!! Have fun with it. :)

    Believe it or not, I have not tried ground turkey anything. I've bought turkey dogs, turkey sausage but not ground turkey to "make" something. I will have to give it a try because you all have peaked my taste buds. Thanks!

    Try ground turkey with 1/2c greek yogurt. 2-3 cloves of garlic and a couple tbsp. of fresh rosemary chopped. mix together and make burger patties. Awesome.

    Also turkey, chopped apple, g. Yogurt, minced onion and seasonings. Makes good burgers. The apple helps keep them moist.

    Naked turkey bruschetta burgers:
    http://www.skinnytaste.com/2013/07/naked-turkey-bruschetta-burger.html

    I made these last week and they were amazing. I used unseasoned bread crumbs, so to keep them from being bland I added 1 tsp of Season All and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning to the mix.

    I eat my turkey burgers with ketchup and dill relish on them, sometimes I mix fetta cheese in them!

    We mix in an egg and an egg white, fresh chopped basil, fresh minced garlic, fresh chopped onion, panko, and occasionally a little bit of shredded cheese.

    I've tried something a little different and it was soo good! Turkey lettuce wraps!

    Grab some chopped onion, Roma tomato, and mushrooms, about half a cup of each in a bowl. Add garlic powder and Mrs. Dash no salt teriyaki marinade, about 3 tblsp. And then ground turkey, about 2 cups. Blend all together in the bowl and put into a lightly oiled pre heated pan, about med high. Mix all around and cook about 5-7minutes.

    In the mean time slice cucumbers length wise no skin or seed.

    And boil some rice noodles according to intructions.

    I use butter lettuce for the wrap and topped each off with peanut sauce.


    Sorry for how I wrote this
    Enjoy!

    You should ideally just get turkey breast. No processed crap in them and a never ending list of recipe ideas!

    I make a great pesto cheese turkey burger. You mix lean ground turkey in a bowl with a spoon of pesto (just enough to add a little flavor, I use a small spoonful. If you add too much you're adding a lot of calories). I then slice a skim cheese stick in half, then cut the halves again the longway and put them inside of 4oz of the turkey burger/pesto mix. They have such great flavor from the pesto and the added bonus of cheese, for just under 200 calories and very low fat. I've turned anti turkey burger people onto these easily! I eat them on a big piece of lettuce, topped with a tomato. :-)

    We make 'Thanksgiving Turkey Burgers' all the time. Saute onions and celery, add to ground turkey with a little 'Chicken Stuffing Mix' and one egg. Grill off and top with Cranberry sauce. So good and very low calorie.

    I love Turkey burgers!!
    Some of my recipes

    Ground turkey
    minced garlic
    finely chopped spinach (or kale)
    French's fried onion (finely chopped with a food processor - so it looks like bread crumbs)
    ground pepper and other spices to taste
    Grill the burger topside for 7 minutes per side to get grill marks (do not press) then pop in the oven for about 20 minutes on 350
    YUMMY

    I also have made this into the ball and cut the ball in half (not all the way - like an open sandwich) stuff it with crumbled gorgonzola cheese and then press into the patty) cook the same way.

    You can also serve it with sliced avocado and tomato!
    I will also sometimes use Hummus on the bun/bread instead of mustard... OMG Yummy!

    EDIT: I have also added mushrooms and onions. I like the idea of chopped apples!!

    SO, SO HAPPY I TOOK THE TURKEY BREAST OUT OF THE FREEZER FOR DINNER TONIGHT!! :)

    I don't like ground turkey but I make them for my client. Once I cooked the patty in the skillet and then put pizza sauce and mozzerella cheese on top and served it on toasted bread.

    My ground turkey comes direct from a local butcher. No processed crap. I love buying local!

    Minced Onion, parsley, garlic, and 1 chipotle pepper w/ some of the sauce in the jar/can of said chipotle pepper. Pulse it all together in a food processor and mix w/ your turkey meat. Lots of shredded cold lettuce and pickles on top for me. BF gets homemade chipotle mayo on top.

    99% turkey is so expensive! I buy the 93%, save myself $3 and most importantly a tastier end result.
