Herb and Garlic Turkey Burgers

These are light fresh turkey burgers made with lots of vegetables and herbs.

In order to make it as clean as possible, I buy turkey cutlets and grind them myself in a food processor.  You can skip this step and buy already ground turkey breast.   Either one is good.

Once you have ground the turkey, put it into a medium bowl.

In the same food processor, add the celery, onion, garlic, sage, marjoram and salt. It isn’t necessary to wash the processor if you ground the turkey,  as you are cooking it all together. Process until onions and celery are finely chopped but not mushy.

Once the vegetables and herbs are chopped work quickly.  If you let the vegetables sit too long they will get watery and the burgers won’t hold together as well.  

Mix turkey with egg and fresh pepper.  Add celery mixture to the turkey and mix until evenly combined.

Form into 6 patties.  They will be loose but firm up when cooked.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Cook turkey patties for about 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through and browned on the outside.

Remove patties from the skillet.

Serve with avocado and tomato slices. Pass around avocado mayonnaise and Dijon mustard as a topping.
