Turkey Burger

"Sam's club" meat section also contains 93% lean ground turkey 5 lbs for around 11.00$ it was cheaper before the gas prices began the rise.  I do not find any ground turkey in my local grocery stores for less than 2.50$ a pound with any consistency and that is the 80% lean stuff.  I promise if someone steps up to the plate and I can stop driving 30 minutes to Sam's club i will tell you who, what, & where.

I have always hated ground turkey and really only prepare it with thick flavorful sauces.  Spaghetti, Curries, and Cajun rice dishes.  Sometimes i will do meatballs in a chicken or Asian sauce with the meatballs containing lots of seasoning.  Basically low fat turkey is about as bland as it gets.  Thus, the problem of using turkey with burgers meat loafs.  The items you make with beef where the beef is the only flavor and makes the dish.  Finally. Ground turkey is very sticky and hard to make patties so i decided to add some instant oatmeal to thicken it up and this led me to my Turkey burger recipe:

preheat grill HOT

1/3 cup prepared beefy oatmeal  recipe at the end
1    tblspn paprika
1/2 tblspn ground cumin
1/2 tblspn ground coriander
1 lb ground turkey

mix all together form 4 patties give a little freeze
remove patties from freezer
place on hottest part of grill until grill marks form
Flip wait for grill marks again (not more than five minutes)
slide patties to finish on indirect heat reaching 160 degrees
