Gingered Turkey Burgers

bikerchick's Note:

Healthy burgers with a gingery twist! Serve with any fixings you love, sauteed mushrooms and a slice of cheese to melt on the hot burger are TDF. These are all-season friendly: fire up the grill when the season's fine or get the broiler smoking hot when it's too gloomy outside.

These are really good! I used dried sage and thyme, but followed everything else exactly. I also broiled them. I served them on toasted whole wheat buns topped with cheddar cheese and sweet & spicy mustard. Very quick and easy! Yummy! Thanks - I'll be making these again!
