SPICY GRILLED TURKEY BURGERS
I'd never tried ground turkey meat before. I got curious when our small grocery store down the road got some in and I just had to try it. I came up with this recipe through a magazine I had that my (of all people) gastro doctor suggested. It's called EatingWell and it has healthy recipes. Some of them are frankly off the wall, but this one wasn't bad.

Tips:
- Choosing lean ground turkey is key to making healthy and flavorful turkey burgers. It helps reduce fat content while maintaining a juicy texture.
- Mixing panko breadcrumbs with eggs, milk, onion, and garlic powder, salt, and pepper creates a binder that holds the turkey mixture together and adds moisture.
- Incorporating spicy ingredients like cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, and paprika adds a delightful kick to the burgers. Adjust the quantities to suit your desired level of spiciness.
- To prevent dryness, do not overmix the turkey mixture. Overmixing can result in tough burgers.
- Forming the turkey mixture into patties of uniform thickness ensures even cooking. Use an ice cream scoop or your hands to shape the mixture into equal portions.
- Cooking the burgers over medium-high heat creates a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and flavorful.

- To add an extra layer of flavor, top the burgers with your favorite condiments and toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, avocado, or a spicy sauce.
