    Too funny...that is the same way I always eat my turkey brugers! Usually on toasted whole wheat bread. Hmmm...haven't had that in awhile, think tomorrow will be a turkey burger and baked fries kind of night!

    Ground turkey BREAST actually has much less fat than just regular ground turkey does.

    Oriental Turkey Burgers

    1 lb. ground turkey (used ground turkey breast)
    ¼ cup chopped green onions
    ¼ cup dry breadcrumbs
    2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    ¼ teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
    ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
    Cooking spray
    4 (2-ounce) hamburger buns
    Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Prepare grill or broiler. Place patties on grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook 5 minutes on each side or until done. Serve on buns.

    I do much the same but I replace breadcrumbs with quaker oats, add red pepper and chopped mushrooms.

    is there a big nutritional difference between ground turkey and ground chicken? I prefer chicken burgers, but will eat turkey if it is a lot better for me...
