Me too.

Me and Jennie-O have been good friends in past times. Not so much any more.
It's a lot more common to see ground turkey in the meat counters at the
stupormarkup than ground chicken.
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Housewarming Burgers
Categories: Beef, Breads, Sauces, Citrus
Yield: 4 Servings
1 lb Ground turkey *
1/4 c Quick cooking oats; or bread
- crumbs
2 tb Tomato paste
1 tb Lemon juice
1 ts Soy sauce
1 ts Worcestershire sauce
1 ts Garlic granules; or more
1 ts Paprika
pn (ea) salt & pepper
4 Whole wheat buns
4 sl Really good yellow cheese;
- optional (UDD)
MMMMM------------------------UDD TOPPINGS-----------------------------
Sliced onion
Sliced tomato
Peeled, pitted, sliced
- avocado
Hamburger dill slices
Mustard & catsup
Mayonnaise
* Ground chuck works well in place of the buzzard - but
it won't be as "healty" - UDD
In a medium mixing bowl, combine turkey, oats, tomato
paste, lemon juice, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce.
Add in seasonings and combine well. Divide into 4
patties.
Let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the flavors
really sink in.
Heat grill on high. Once heated, add burgers and close
the lid. Let cook for 5 minutes, flip, then cook another
3-5 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove patties and place on bun. Add toppings of choice
and enjoy!
UDD Notes: I've made this with both turkey and beef. I
prefer the beef. Next I'm going to try ground pork. As
for the toppings - those are all things I actually use
from time to time. With the soy and Worster sauces in
the mix - if you're adding cheese - choose an assertive
flavour else it will just be coloured bun filler.
Oh, yeah - this recipe works inside on a grill pan/
skillet just fine.
