A Great Recipe - Turkey Burgers

I commented about the yummy turkey burgers that I made for dinner last night and MANY people are asking for the recipe. So, I thought I would post it here on my blog for everyone to see. The best part about the recipe...the kids ate it! The recipe comes from Better Homes and Gardens.

Team Favorite Turkey Burger
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons ketchup
4 teaspoons dill or sweet pickle relish (I used dill)
1 clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound uncooked ground turkey or chicken (I used turkey)
1/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise dressing or salad dressing (I actually used regular mayonnaise)
Lettuce (I used iceberg)
Tomato slices
4 whole wheat hanburger buns

1. Preheat broiler. In a large bowl combine bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of the ketchup, 2 teaspoons of the relish, garlic, salt and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper. Add ground turkey; mix well. Shape turkey mixture into four 1/4-inch-thick patties.

2. In a small bowl combine mayonnaise dressing, remaining 1 tablespoon ketchup, remaining 2 teaspoons relish and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper; set aside.

3. Place patties on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4-5 inches from the heat for 14-18 minutes or until no longer pink (165 F), turning once halfway through broiling.

4. To serve, place lettuse leaves and tomato slices on the bottom halves of the buns. Top with burgers. Spoon mayonnaise mixture on burgers. Add top halves of the buns.
