Summertime means a lot of things: warm weather, swimsuits, cute sundresses, sunglasses, (sunburns), and family time. Summer is also a time when lots of my favorite foods are in season like berries, corn on the cob, and ice cream. Ice cream is always in season for me, but it just seems right in the summer. Summertime food also includes grilling! I’m not a huge meat fan, but I do love a good cheeseburger, or in this case turkey burger…
These turkey burgers were super yummy, and really easy to put together. My whole family liked them which is saying a lot because they’re a bunch of beef lovers.
Turkey Burgers (Makes 5 burgers)
adapted from Annie’s Eats
1.3 lbs ground turkey
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. dried parsley
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add the chopped onion and saute about 3 mintues. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook about 2 minutes longer, until the onion is tender.
Add the onion mixture to a mixing bowl. Add ground turkey, salt, pepper, and herbs to this bowl. Mix well to blend all ingredients. Form this mixture into 5 evenly sized patties. Cook on grill about 4-6 minutes per side, until burgers are cooked through.
XOXO,
