Ranch Turkey Burgers

These are good twist on a burger recipe and the kids love them. I have used both fresh ground turkey and the frozen chubs. The fresh is more expensive and to be honest neither Milo or I could tell a difference in the taste. It was just easier to already have the meat defrosted. When the fresh is on sale, go for it.
  • 2 pound ground turkey
  • 1 pkt ranch dressing mix (can use another 1/2 packet if you like a stronger flavor)
  • 2 egg
  • Garlic powder to taste
  • Worcestershire sauce (about 1/8 c.)
  • seasoned salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 c bread crumbs
The measurements on this aren't exact, to each his own on how strong you like your burger. The kids like to eat them on a bun. Tonight Milo and I ate them without a bun and sliced avocado on top and it was yum!

The original recipe was to grill these but since it's winter, I used my griddle and they turned out good. Ground turkey doesn't hold together as well as beef so you have to really pat them together and flip carefully. This recipe made 10 good size patties. (sorry I forgot to take a photo!)
