Wendy's Grilled Juicy Turkey Burgers

Submitted by MemphisMommy

"Many recipes for turkey burgers here and other places  are good . My problem was that a lot of them were not full of flavor or would turn out dry. This concoction was made with things I had on hand , wasn’t allergic to . Cooked on grill in a tray used for  grilling with non-stick aluminum foil . My husband liked them a lot so I decided to save recipe :)"

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 4 Burgers
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 vidalia onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 clove chopped garlic
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 egg white
• 1⁄3 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon dried chives
• 1⁄2 teaspoon adobo seasoning, spice mixture
• 1⁄2 cup thick shredded mixed cheese

directions

1. Add butter and chopped vidalia onion ( you can use any onion; I prefer sweet ones) to frying pan and cook until onion for a couple minutes on medium heat. Add chopped garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until onions start to get a tad brown on edges . Take off heat  and put into small bowl to let cool down while mixing turkey.
2. In a medium to large bowl add ground turkey and egg white . Mix with hands until combined. Add onion mixture (butter and all!) along with the rest of the ingredients and mix with hands until combined . Form into 4 balls and slightly squish down to make a patty form . (I made 4 burgers with 1 pound of turkey). You could freeze at this point if you wanted to, and I did with two of them for later use.
3. On a metal grate tray covered with non stick aluminum foil (did not put meat directly on grill grates  , although you could ) place burgers on metal tray and onto an already heated medium grill . I flipped burgers every  5 minutes for a total of 15 minutes of cooking. Grill is shut while grilling . .
4. They turned out.
5. Grate! ( Pun intended!).
6. I was surprised at how flavorful and juicy they turned out. I had very thick shredded jack and sharp cheddar cheese and I think that makes a difference along with using a cooking surface that the cheese and drippings can’t go through , hence me using the non stick foil on grate and not directly on grill.
7. Served bunless (for me )with sweet potato tots and a fresh green salad. Husband ate with bun and no toppings. :).
