I made a whirlwind mess of the kitchen tonight:blushing: , made turkey burgers and they're fantastic...

You'll need:
1 package Shady Brook Farms 99% fat free ground turkey
Half of a bag of frozen chopped spinach
About a cup of chopped onions
About a cup of chopped mushrooms
A few squirts of spicy brown mustard
A dash of worcestershire sauce (spelling doesn't look right, but I copied it off the bottle!)
About 2 and a half tablespoons of beef bouillon (I use the sodium free kind)

Defrost, and "ring out" the spinash- I literally took it and squeezed all of the water out over the sink. Mix all ingredients, along with any spices you like (I used oregeno, garlic powder, and black pepper) in a large bowl- make sure it's mixed well. Then, make patties whatever size you like (I flattened the mixture on a cutting board and then used an upside down beer mug:laugh: as a cookie cutter) and cook them in a frying pan for a couple of minutes.

The turkey can be kind of dry, so by adding the mushrooms, onions and spinach they come out amazing! I do not like spinach at all- it literally makes me gag, but it has no taste in the burgers... just makes them look nice, and taste moist. I had one burger on a wheat bun, and the other just on my plate with ketchup.... they were SO GOOD!

Give it a try if it sounds good, and let me know what you think! :happy:

** Forgot to add, I got 12 burgers out 1 package of turkey. The package says there was 20.8 ounces, and it's 120 calories in 4 ounces. So, by my calculations, with the veggies, mustard, etc. adding very few calories to the burgers, each burger has (it's a high estimate) about 75 calories!!! Obviously, I could have made the burgers larger with more calories in each, but I had 2 for dinner and I'm full! :happy:

    That actually sounds really really good. I'm going to have to make those sometime this week...but shh :wink: Don't tell my husband they're turkey or else he won't eat em'! I can probably trick him into at least trying first. Thanks!

    I hear ya- boyfriend saw the mushrooms in the fridge and already swore against trying them:grumble:

    You reminded me of something funny... call him crazy, but my dad has been known to mess around with food coloring to make his turkey burgers and turkey chili look "brown." I think it all started when he made my sister and I bright red, green and blue french toast for breakfast on April Fools day one year :laugh:

    I don't care for turkey bugers........
    But I tried yours and i liked it, I didn't use bullion or the mustard, but it was still good in my salad thanks.

    I LOVE turkey burgers. I usually just have them without anything cuz they have a lot of flavor. I haven't had them in a while though :( maybe I can convince my mom to make them soon, teach me how so when I move out in a few months I can do it myself.
