Turkey Burger Reicpe

Turkey burgers are a cooking artists dream. Ground turkey by itself does not have tons of flavor so it can be a lot of fun adding flavors that really bring out the best in the turkey. 

The other side of turkey is it can dry out very easily. A trick I learned from watching my wife is to add some water to your pan after you get a nice crust on the burger and cover. It basically gives the burger a quick braise, absorbing the liquid and keeping it nice and juicy. 

Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1/4 cup white onion minced
2 cloves garlic minced 
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp ground mustard
1/2 tsp red pepper flake
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup fresh spinach finely chopped
2-3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Combine all ingredients in small mixing bowl
Form into 4-5 burger patties
Let set in refrigerator 30-60 minutes

Preparation:
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil over med-high heat in large skillet
Season each side of each patty with salt and pepper
Add to skillet, cook approximately 3-4 minutes on each side.
Add 1 cup water and cover 5-10 minutes until cooked through
Melt slice of Swiss cheese 
Serve on bun with dijon mustard, lettuce, tomato & avocado
