TURKEY BURGER

Who hasn't been frustrated grilling or frying a chicken or turkey burger with a dry outcome. While healthier than beef, ground poultry lacks the right amount of fat to get a juicy burger. While our recipe is inspired by NYTimes Cooking, we add our extra virgin olive oil to the mix. It's healthy and best of all, it makes for a juicy no-beef burger, one that's great for grilling or frying on your stovetop.

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound (450g) lean ground turkey
1/2 medium onion, minced (2 tbsp)
1 tbsp Traditional dark balsamic 
1 egg, beaten
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper 
1 tbsp Garlic EVOO (plus more for brushing patties)
4 quality hamburger buns

1/4 cup tzatziki for topping (store bought or homemade)

DIRECTIONS:
Pre-heat grill on medium high and grease grates. In medium bowl, place onion, balsamic, salt, pepper and EVOO. Mix together well with fork or fingers. Shape into four balls, then press into 1/2 inch rounds. Brush patties with EVOO. Place on grill and cook for 5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 160°. Serve on toasted buns with toppings of choice, including tzatziki. Alternatively, spray non-stick skillet with olive oil and cook on medium, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
