Honey-Mustard Turkey Burgers

Sweet Jezebel's Note:

Burgers made with ground turkey are a lean alternative to beef burgers, providing you choose turkey ground from the breast. Regular ground turkey, which is a mixture of light and dark meat and some skin, contains almost as much fat as lean ground beef. A honey-mustard mixture keeps these low-fat patties moist and succulent. From The Eating Well Diabetes Cookbook.
