Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey breast
1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers, divided
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1/4 teaspoons salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Divide turkey into 4 equal sized rounds. Make 2 equal sized patties out of each round so you have 8 patties total. Sprinkle 4 of the patties with 2 tablespoons each of roasted red peppers and cheese, and top with remaining patties working the turkey around the edges to seal burgers closed. Season with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill or broil until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.

yummmm....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

my family and i have been looking for ways to eat a healthier meal that would still fill us up, which means we were trying... turkey burgers as a new addition. We were all a little nervous and didnt know what to expect so i hoped on here and decided to try this recipe since it was simple and had ingredients that i knew we already liked. We have eaten it several times since then and it's a hit every time!!!Read more

Healthy & Yummmmmy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was delicious! I don't eat red meat, so this was a great compromise for my carnivore husband & myself! I did tweek it a... little bit, I added onion, garlic, orange pepper, and bread crumbs to the burgers. They were fantastic! I also put some EVOO & Italian seasoning on the buns and grilled them for a minute. I actually don't have a grill, but the griddle on Med-Low heat works great! I'm definitely saving this one in my recipe book!!!Read more

A few changes...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

to deal with the dryness issue, I soaked a piece or two of bread in milk and added it to the ground turkey meat. helps SOOOO... much! It makes the burger really moist. All I had was regular old red bell pepper so I diced that and used it and added red onions, garlic, and scallions. It turned out to be a very good burger! :)Read more

tricky to make a good turkey burger
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

It's tricky to make good burgers from lean ground turkey. I bought the lean ground turkey breast which has very little fat.... My burgers were dry and flavorless, despite the add ins from the recipe. And I do like turkey- Ellie's turkey meatballs are divine. Here, i would use ground turkey that had a little more fat. I saw some at Trader Joe's that had 8 grams (somewhere in between the extra lean ground turkey breast and full fat ground turkey). Read more

Good Burgers...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

... but not amazing. I followed the recipe and mine came out dry too. I enjoyed the concept and the health factor, but I... wasn't really wowed. The onion rings tho... what a great recipe!Read more
