I have lean ground turkey and would like to make a nice dinner with it. I was thinking burgers...does anyone have recipes that will make these tasty and flavorful??

Any ideas are welcome!!

    I put italian seasoning on my turkey burgers BUT what I really love are turkey taco's on lettuce shells instead of taco shells! So yummy!

    I've used ground turkey in tacos and chili for years, and can hardly tell that it's not ground beef!

    I saw on Hungry Girl to mix onion soup mix with your ground turkey to make great turkey burgers. I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
    But it sounds good.

    I dice up red peppers, onions, cilantro and sometimes carrots and mix it all together to make my turkey patties, other times I just use some Mrs. Dash or a tiny bit of seasoned salt. I also mix the turkey with an egg and some bread crumbs and make meatballs I've also mixed it w/ lean ground beef for a meatloaf. My husband ate the meatloaf, never mentioned anything about it tasting different. :laugh:

    It's not burgers, but skinnytaste.com has some great recipes using lean ground turkey. Today, I made the turkey and pumpkin chili and it is great! I also LOVE her Italian meatballs. She uses them in a few recipes, but I have only tried them in the Escarole Soup. YUM!

    Burgers are great, I don't use beef anymore - we prefer turkey! I add onions , garlic, peppers, whatever you like really! Also, it makes a nice meatloaf! :smile:
