Honey-Mustard Turkey Burgers

:  October 1998, The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook (2005)

Your rating: None Average: 4.6 (27 votes)

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.


READER'S COMMENT:
"Wow unexpectedly delish, very few ingredients great flavor, I made them on the stove and thought they were excellent. Only thing I did is sprinkled a little extra pepper on the outside. Yum will be making again. "
