Bistro Turkey Burgers

You can cook these over a grill with medium coals or on a Foreman grill.


Ingredients:
1 envelope of dry onion soup mix (divided)
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons of water
1 pound of lean ground turkey (lean = 93%)
1 egg white
2 tablespoons of snipped parsley
1 garlic clove (pressed) or 1/2 teaspoon of diced garlic in jar
1 yellow or red onion cut into 4 slices (1/2 inch thick slices)
4 slices of cheese (I use swiss)
4 onion rolls
4 tablespoons of honey mustard

*For a moist burger, you can also add 1/2 cup of grated carrots and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions to your ground turkey.*

 1. Combine 3 tablespoons of the onion soup mix with 2 tablespoons of water. Add turkey, egg white, parsley and garlic. Mix lightly but thoroughly and pat into 4 round patties, 1-2 inches thick.

2. For basting sauce combine remaining 1 tablespoon of soup mix with 1/4 cup of water. Heat in microwave for 30 seconds.


3. Place patties and onion slices on grill. Brush both with basting sauce. Grill uncovered for 5 minutes. Turn patties and onions, baste and grill 5-6 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in the center and the onions are tender. Put cheese on patties and let melt (approx. 1 minute) before removing from grill.


4. Place roll halves, cut side down on grill for 1-2 minutes or until lightly toasted.


5. Spread honey mustard on roll bottoms, place onion on roll tops with patties.


Side Notes:
You can prepare and shape the burgers in advance. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate up to one day before grilling.
