Burgers made with ground turkey are a lean alternative to beef burgers, providing you choose turkey ground from the breast. Regular ground turkey, which is a mixture of light and dark meat and some skin, contains almost as much fat as lean ground beef. A honey-mustard mixture keeps these low-fat patties moist and succulent.

So easy and delicious I make this recipe all the time! Can't be beat for the convenience and taste! I serve it without a bun but definitely include the lettuce and tomato. Read More

The best turkey burger I have found and easy to make too This recipe has quickly become a regular on my dinner list. I omit the salt (and don't miss it at all) and just mix all the honey mustard into the meat instead of glazing some on the outside...just for simplicity's sake. I did glaze it the first time or two but it's just as good mixed in. It is sweet - so it doesn't necessarily fit the savory hamburger craving...but it stands its own and is a frequent request in my house. I like to make extra and freeze them for later too. Make sure you get the very lean meat as stated...I used I think 93% once and they fell apart a lot easier (and less healthy too). The 99% lean works and tastes best in my experience. Pros: healthy easy delicious quick Read More

These were really yummy. I added some poultry seasoning garlic power and extra pepper. I also added green onions to the turkey. I served them with sweet potato "fries". My husband asked me if it was really turkey. Read More

These were so delicious! Perfect recipe. The only things I changed was that I mixed all of the mustard mixture in the turkey except for 4 tablespoons which I brushed over the burgers....and I also used multi-grain english muffins instead of hamburger rolls. Fabulous!! Will be making quite a bit. Thanks! Read More

Quick and effortless and easy to spice up. Perfect for a busy weeknight. I'm in college and these went together and were on the table in under half an hour which is great for my roommates and me. We will make these again and maybe add something to them for just a little bit more flavor. -Sarah in Springfield Read More
