Farm Girl Tips

Tips:
Use ground turkey with some fat content to keep the burgers juicy! I use an 85/15 blend.
Make the patties slightly larger than desired size and they will shrink somewhat as they cook.
These can also be made on the grill.
If you not using a nonstick pan, use a teaspoon or two of olive oil to keep the burger patties from sticking to the pan.

To make as a freezer meal:

In a medium bowl, gently combine all ingredients except the burger buns. When mixed, shape into four patties. Form into four patties and freeze in a single layer inside a gallon zip bag. Thaw before cooking as outlined above.
