Turkey Burgers

This is a re-posting of one of my favorite burgers. Turkey burgers do not have to be boring and/ or tasteless. The green onion, garlic and cheese really help bump up the flavor and the veggies help the meat retain its moisture on the grill.

Serves 8

2 pounds ground turkey(93% lean)
1/2 cup grated Gruyere Cheese
4 green onions cut into thirds
3 slices fresh bread
1/4 cup dijon mustard
3 clove of garlic
3 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

In a food processor, place the bread, garlic and green onions. Grind until you have crumbs. Pour into a bowl. Add the ground turkey, cheese, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix until just combined. Divide the meat mixture into 8 patties about 1 inch in thickness.I use an ice-cream scoop to help me divy up the meat. I usually get 2 1/2 scoops of meat per burger. Heat the grill and lightly oil the grates. Place patties on the hottest part of the grill and cook until both sides of each patty is browned about 2 minutes on each side. Move to a cooler part of the grill and continue to cook 5-10 minutes more until cooked through.
