EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If grilling turkey patties, brush the grill rack with oil before adding the patties. Because of their lower fat content, turkey patties may stick to the grill otherwise.

My husband said this was the best turkey burger he has ever had! We added fresh mushrooms to the onions and it was wonderful! The kids didn't care too much for the rye bread, but overall it will be added to our family menu.

My husband said this was the best burger he ever had (and he loves burgers!). We used ground turkey instead of ground beef and neither one of us like rye bread so we just used hamburger buns. It was delicious.
