Kid Friendly Mediterranean Turkey Burgers

This lovely recipe comes from the june 2007 issue of family fun magazine! i find plain turkey burgers to be very blah. these sound delicious. haven't tried them yet, but will edit this recipe once i do.

Steps

Mix together the turkey , pear , egg , panko , parsley , garlic , sage , rosemary , and allspice in a large bowl until well combined.

Add the salt and pepper or more to taste.

Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into patties , gently pressing the center of each to create a slight indentation.

This will prevent the patty from bulging in the center , so that you end up with a flat , evenly cooked burger.

Refrigerate the patties until the grill is ready.

Prepare a charcoal fire or a gas grill to medium-hot.

Wipe the rack with canola oil and lay the burgers on it indentation side up.

Let them cook , without pressing down on them , until the bottoms are well seared , about 5 to 7 minutes.

Flip the burgers and continue grilling until they are completely cooked through another 5 to 7 minutes.
