Chinese Five-Spice Turkey Burgers

These are yummy! They taste sort of like a pot sticker. This recipe comes from Rachael Ray's 365: No Repeats cookbook. I would have love to have added or topped the burgers with chopped fresh (or rehydrated) shiitake mushrooms, but DH wouldn't have liked that. You can swap out the meat for chicken or pork. That is what the original recipe calls for. Serve this with an Asian-style slaw and fresh pineapple. YUM!
