I make these regularly for my husband and I and love them. My 3 year old grandson refuses to eat any kind of vegetables so for his sleep over I decided to give these a try. I grated and chopped as fine as I could and called them "Big Boy Burgers". The veggies went down and he seemed to really like them much to the surprise of his Mom & Dad! The recipe went home with his Mom.

I have been looking for a good recipe for turkey burgers and this is it (although I did make a lot of substitutions based on what I had on hand). I used italian seasoning instead of thyme. And I used grated carrots, onion, and garlic as that was all I had on hand. I'm not exactly sure what it was but these were so good, I didn't even notice they were turkey because of how moist they were. Thanks for posting this.

These were really good - I used carrots, zucchini, and some mushrooms, as well as chopped garlic. Didn't have fresh thyme so I substituted fresh marjoram. They were nice and moist and not dried out at all.
