TUKEY BURGERS (ADAPTED FROM BOBBY FLAY'S TURKEY KOFTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except turkey together.
• Add turkey and mix well.
• Form into large patties 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick.
• Place onto a plate and separate patties with plastic wrap, then place in fridge for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. (I pre-made the patties before-hand as I did not want to have to do them later. You could place the whole bowl in the fridge then form the patties before you cook them too.).
• When ready to cook, take plate of patties out and place oven on Hi broil.
• Spray broiler pan with Pam then add the patties.
• Broil patties about 6-7 inches from heat for 6 minutes one side, flip then broil 6 more minutes. Flip again, broil 2 more minutes then take out and add cheese to melt ontop.
• For my fixin's, I like to mix my mayo and ketchup together and spread on buns along with some avocado and sauted mushrooms, lettuce and tomato.
