Tarragon Turkey Burgers

I came up with this healthier alternative to burgers which highlights the flavor of fresh tarragon - the bread and milk "panade" helps keep the meat moist and flavorful so you can be sure to cook the lean turkey completely. These burgers are wonderful topped with fresh leafy lettuce and served on a soft roll (we loved Sourdough Burger Buns). A spoonful of bearnaise sauce (like Bearnaise Sauce), while not doing much for the calorie-count, makes an amazing condiment!
