Turkey Burgers on the Grill

This is my first time attempting turkey brugers.

They came out great and I will definitely make them again!

After researching some recipes online and in cooking magazines, I came up with this recipe:

1 pound ground turkey breast

1-2 tsps olive oil

1 egg white, slightly beaten

1 tblsp worcester sauce

1/4 cup plain bread crumbs

1 tsp dried parsely

1/2 tsp season salt

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

pinch of black pepper

5 hamburger buns (your favorite kind)

olive oil cooking spray

Sliced cheese (recommend montery jack) -- OPTIONAL

Garnish: thinly sliced onion, sliced tomato, dill pickle chips, honey mustard

Combine egg white with olive oil. Combine dry seasonings with bread crumbs. Put the ground turkey in a large bowl. Sprinkle the worcester sauce over the meat. Add the egg white mixture and the bread crumb mixture. Use a fork or your hands to mix it all together until well combined.

Divide meat mixture into 5 equal portions and form into patties. Heat the grill to medium high. Grill the turkey burgers until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees and are no longer pink inside. (I found a meat thermometer is very helpful here so you don't have to cut one open to see if it's done.) If desired, add cheese on top of patties and close lid of grill till cheese is melted. Remove patties from grill.

Spray the insides surfaces of the buns with the cooking spray. Place face down on the grill and cook until lightly toasted.

Put it all together and YUM! Enjoy. :)
