FINALLY! I found a Turkey Burger that I LOVE! I believe I tried in the past to prepare ground turkey to taste like hamburger and I just could never hit the mark. That's why this turkey burger makes since.
I prepared with ground turkey(dark meat with the shredded onion and apple, celery, sage, thyme, marjoram, and sweet paprika. Also, I added a few shakes of liquid smoke. Grilled on indoor grill. Topped with White American Cheese, Bibb Lettuce on Bakery Kaiser Rolls. That Cranberry Mayo was just shear GENIUS!
If you are like me and was just not a fan of a Turkey Burger because it just has never been as satisfying? Then I BEG you to try this recipe. Rachel you ROCKED this one.

UNEXPECTED TURKEY BURGER -- JUICY & FULL OF FLAVOR!!
Thank you Rachael for such an innovative approach to a turkey burger, and thank you for making a recipe that is geared for the ground turkey packages sold in grocery stores. Excellent flavor, and elevated a plain-ole-turkey burger into something really fun to eat. LOVED THIS RECIPE!! Will totally make this again!!!
ADAPTATIONS
1. Used half of a finely diced granny smith apple
2. Added fresh chopped sage (I loooove sage
3. Melted Vermont cheddar cheese on top
4. Swapped out English Muffins for Lettuce Leaves

The turkey burgers were a hit! I used ground dark meat turkey. To the cran-mayo, I added 1/2 t of dijon mustard, and 1/2 t of orange juice. Instead of lettuce, I had a slice of avocado on the burgers - and I used brioche buns instead of english muffins. I will definitely make these again - super easy to make, moist, and delicious.
