These turkey
burgers are excellent. They are good
both in buns or for less calories, simply grilled or browned in a pan to serve
with a side of vegetables. They are
simple to make and cook up quickly. The seasonings and stuffing mix takes them out of the bland category. I served them on Whole Wheat Mustard Buns.

Sue that sounds good. Stuffing mix. like stove top?
ReplyDeleteYes, I used Stovetop for the stuffing mix; any stuffing mix would do because you need to crush it some. Actually, I think Panko bread crumbs would also work well; you could just add a little sage and thyme to taste.
DeleteThe crumbs need to be dry and crispy and bigger than regular bread crumbs.
This is the first time I actually though turkey burgers could be tasty and not bland.
Thanks so much for all your wonderful recipes. I have used so many of them. This turkey burger sounds so good that I will try to make them this week. Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteThis is an embarrasing question but I picked up chopped broccali instead of spinach at the store. Do you think I can sub that for the spinach if I chop it a little finer?
ReplyDeleteI think another kind of greens, like kale, would work - but you might want to cook your broccoli and just have your turkey burgers without the spinach. I don't think you'd be happy with broccoli in this recipe.
