I have had some really good juicy turkey burgers at restaurants. The frozen ones are a bit ';Blah';. Does anyone have some ideas for seasoning the meat and making the patties? I am wanting to cook them on the bar-b-que.I need a good recipe for an awesom turkey burger I can cook on the grill?
Actually Delicious Turkey Burgers
3 pounds ground turkey
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely diced onion (used food processor)
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper (used food processor)
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Worcestershire sauce
splash of soy sauce
Optional: Can add slight coating of flour and Montreal Steak Seasoning (McCormick) to the formed patties before grilling.
In a large bowl, mix ground turkey, seasoned bread crumbs, onion, egg whites, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form into 12 patties.
Cook the patties in a medium skillet over medium heat, turning once, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F (85 degrees C).
They freeze very well. The recipe can also be used for meatballs or meat loaves.

Oprah Turkey Burgers Recipe
Here is the recipe for Turkey Burgers that is a hit at Donald Trump's private club in Palm Beach. Oprah asked the Donald for this recipe whenshe stayed at his club. She told Trump, ';this is simply the best turkey burger I've every eaten';
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion - chives (white and green parts)
1/2 cup finely diced celery
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced.
1/8 cup Canola Oil or Peanut Oil
4 Lbs. Ground Turkey
2 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp black pepper
1 Tbsp chipotle Tabasco
1 whole lemon juice and a some grated zest
1/2 bunch Parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup Major Grey's Chutney (buy and puree) - usually in the
grocery store's section where mustards, bbq sauces, etc.
Directions
Saute' the chives, celery and apples in oil until tender.
Let cool Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Add the sauteed items and ALL remaining ingredients.
Shape into eight 8-oz patties.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours (or make burgers one night, cover with foil and cook the next night).
Season the patties with salt and pepper.
Place on preheated OILED grill (indoor or out) Grill each size about 7 minutes until meat thoroughly cooked. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Serve with sides of cottage cheese, avocado, favorite toasted bread, pita, salsa, sliced red onions and/or ranch dressing.
Turkey Burgers Filled with Brie and Grilled Granny Smith Apple
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey
4 (1/2-inch) cubes of Brie cheese
Olive oil, for brushing the turkey burgers
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced 1/2-inch crosswise
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 loaf French or Italian bread, cut crosswise into quarters
1 cup arugula
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to high. Shape the ground turkey into 4 round patties about 1 1/2-inches thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty, place 1 cube of cheese in it, and press the turkey up and around, to cover it. Brush both sides of the burger lightly with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side.
While the burgers are cooking, brush the apples on both sides with vegetable oil and grill until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
Split the bread and toast on the grill, cut side down, until golden. Place a burger on the bottom of each quarter. Top with 1 or 2 apple slices, several sprigs of arugula, and the remaining bread. Arrange the burgers on a platter.
Turkey needs alot more seasoning than beef. The easiest thing is to just add a package of dry onion soup mix to a lb. of turkey, with some dry bread crumbs %26amp; an egg. Form into patties. You can put some Lawry's marinade on them (I like Baja Chipolte, Mesquite or Hickory) and then grill them.....
Burgers:
2 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 tablespoon Ketchup,
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Garnish:
10 tablespoons mayonnaise
10 red leaf lettuce leaves
10 tomato slices
10 onion slices
10 pickle spears
I use lean ground turkey meat, 1 egg, cumin powder, about 1/4 tsp. Chopped green onions and some parsley, about 1/4 tsp. Make a pattie, but do not handle the meat too much, or you will make them tough. Make sure your grill is oiled well or they will stick. Cook, but don't overcook them.....enjoy!
Try this one if you like a fatty flavor but still not as caloric as beef.
