Directions

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and shape into four patties.
Heat a large skillet on medium and coat with cooking spray.
Add the turkey patties and cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until browned on both sides and no longer pink in the center. Serve on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and onions (see Chef Tips). We love Rudi's Organic Bakery 100% Whole Wheat Bun.

Chef Tips

If you are going through chemo and want to have some greens with your burger, instead of lettuce and tomatoes, garnish it with a some wilted spinach, and perhaps a slice or two of roasted red peppers.

For even more flavor, use 4oz ground breast meat, and 4 oz ground dark meat turkey.
