The addition of shredded carrots is the secret ingredient to the most juicy moist turkey burgers so please don't omit them! these are delicious done on the grill I make these quite often and my family loves them, they are low fat too! Of course they may be broiled or pan-fried, but they are much better if prepared on the grill or even an indoor grill would be great! This recipe makes approx 8 turkey burgers, depending on how large you make them, you might want to double or triple the amounts and freeze the patties Serve on buns with tomato, slices of onion and grainy mustard. Of coarse all ingredients may be adjusted to suit taste --- I slightly butter the inside of the bun and then grill them for about a minute, then stuff the turkey burgers in them, you might want to substitute Mrs. Dash seasoning for the seasoning salt if you are on a low sodium diet. Plan ahead the patties must chill for 4-24 hours to blend flavors, the longer chilling time the better! --- for the best flavor use only seasoned salt, if you are a garlic-lover then increase to 2 tablespoons

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 lbs ground turkey (preferably mixed white and dark meat)
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot (DO NOT squeeze out any moisture in the carrots!)
2 green onions, finely chopped (or use 1 small onion)
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh garlic (or use 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder)
2 teaspoons seasoning salt (can reduce to 1-1/2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/3-1/2 cup hickory-flavor barbecue sauce (can use more you may need to increase the breadcrumbs if increasing the BBQ sauce)
1/2-1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)

Directions

1
In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey with all the ingredients; mix well to combine (if you find the mixture is too moist you can add in a small amount more of bread crumbs).
2
Shape into patties, then place the patties on a plate and cover with plastic wrap; chill for 4-24 hours to blend flavors (24 hours is even better!).
3
Place on the barbecue and grill until done (about 12-15 minutes) if made on a outdoor grill.
4
DELICIOUS!

I have not tried yet, but will be very soon. Looks delicious. UPDATE-- I made these for supper tonight and thought that they were very good. The only thing that I can honestly say that I didn't care for was how soft a turkey burger was--but that is a turkey burger and I struggle with that every time I make one be it this recipe or my other recipe. This burger was great and healthy for us. I will definitely be making this again. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

These are excellent! Made as is minus the eggs. Added a few strips of bacon to the finished product and topped with a little bbq. Delish!

These burgers are GREAT!! We made completely "as is" and wouldn't change a thing. They grilled up nicely and the flavor is super. This is the 1st burger ever that I didn't put any condiment on - just sliced tomato and some lettuce. That is unbelievable for me because all things need "sauce" of some sort in my opinion. This is a super healty alternative for my family and we plan to make this recipe a lot this summer and will entertain with it too. Grilling is a must. Updated 7/26/08. We adore these burgers and entertain with them all the time now and people go crazy for them! After some testing and different trials of working with the meat mixture (which is kind of sticky) I thought I would add this hint. I will weigh out my meat so that all the patties are approx. the same weight. Then when I'm forming the pattie I will put each burger pattie on it's own square of waxed paper. Then after refrigeration and it's time to grill, my husband can pick up one pattie, flip it onto the grill and then peel back the single square of waxed paper which works like a charm. (It can be hard getting the burgers off the waxed paper to cook but with this method, it's a breeze) This recipe is at the top of my recommend list - hope you try them out too.

What a great way to start off the grilling season. I made these last night and everyone liked them, includiing the 3 yo. I loved the carrots and green onion. The only thing I did differently, was I used egg whites instead of eggs. I used 20 oz of 7% lean meat and adjusted the ingredients for 5 burgers, but ended up with 6. Very moist and tasty. Will add this to my grilling rotation, Thanks for the great recipe.
