Turkey Burgers

From the Perricone Promise diet book.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Yields: 4 burgers

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground turkey
• 1⁄4 cup  minced onion
• 3⁄4 cup  coarsely ground oatmeal (put in a blender and pulse until the oatmeal is the consistency of bread crumbs)
• 1  egg
• 1⁄4 cup  minced celery
• 1⁄4 cup milk or 1⁄4 cup  stock
• 1  teaspoon sea salt
• 1  garlic clove, minced
• 3  tablespoons  chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. Mix all the ingredients well. Form into 1-inch thick patties and place in a lightly oiled skillet. Cook the burgers over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until browned and crispy. Flip the burgers carefully and cook for 5 minutes longer, or until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees and the meat is no longer pink. Serve the burgers hot.
2. If you’re making a loaf, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Form the mixture into a loaf and pack into a lightly oiled 8 x 4-inch baking pan. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the loaf begins to pull away from the pan.
