Our family loves a good burger, but sometimes you just want something besides beef. These turkey burgers are full of flavor and moisture - no dry turkey burgers here! And since its adapted from a Weight Watchers recipe its probably not too bad for you :)

Steps

1

In a large bowl, gently hand-mix together the ground turkey, soy sauce, ketchup, garlic powder and black pepper.
2

Add the minced scallions and shredded cheese. Gently fold together by hand.
3

Form into patties. I usually do 5 oz patties. (Photo shows a double batch. We've got a big family)
4

Cook them however you'd cook a beef burger. I prefer the grill. They're fantastic grilled over indirect charcoal heat with added hickory smoking chips in a pouch below the cooking zone. On a weeknight I'll just throw them on the gas grill over medium heat and cook them up much faster. They're still great. They could be cooked inside in a skillet or on a griddle. Up to you.
5

Serve with whole-wheat buns, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and the condiments of your choice.
