These are so good! They are actually better than good--they are fantastic! I used fresh grated Parmesan and dried, minced garlic and followed everything else to a T. I think you could make a low-carb chicken Parmesan by using a marinara sauce and a bit of mozzarella on top. C & D's Mom, thank you for a wonderful recipe. This is a keeper!

Wow! This was my first attempt at a turkey burger & I was SO nervous because this is a new recipe so I had no previous advice to go on! But it was a success! I cut the reicpe in half, used 1/8 tsp garlic salt for the garlic cloves, & didn't use the seasoning salt. I also left out the mozz cheese, preferring to top the burger with a slice of swiss cheese instead. Cooked them on my George Foreman & used a little bit of light Miracle Whip for topping. The italian seasonings give the turkey taste a nice zing. I was afraid these would fall apart without any breadcrumbs but it worked fine. Thanks so much for sharing!

I'm a mom and I love to cook. Started cooking when I was 20, and found I love to do it! I love to experiment with new stuff all the time, and I hate prepackaged foods and recipes that use them, so I always try to figure out the ingredients on my own to copy a recipe. I just don't think that opening a can of baked beans and adding something to it makes for homemade beans!!)
My husband had a heart attack last year at the age of 39! So now, we try to eat a lot healthier. I am always looking for ways to get more veggies into him. In my recipes, I never add salt, but I post it here cuz I know most people still like the taste. It takes a while, but you get over it when you cut it out of your cooking. We don't even have a salt shaker anymore. Poor guests!
I love that when I post something here, I can see the nutritional breakdown so I know what he can and can't have. I've printed all kinds of recipes that I've found here and made up a heart friendly cookbook for us.
