Knife & Fork Turkey Burgers

I love this weather! Sunny and warm enough to sit outside on a Friday evening. Tonight we barbecued Turkey Burgers with Chicken Hardwood Smoked Sausage. If you don’t like buns, these burgers are great to eat with a knife and fork, which is how we ate them…

Knife & Fork Turkey Burgers
• 1 package lean ground turkey – 1 ¼ lbs
• ½ cup shredded reduced fat Colby jack cheese
• ¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper (about ½ medium pepper)
• ¼ cup finely chopped red onion (about 1/3 medium onion)
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 1 ½ teaspoons ketchup
• 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 large egg, beaten

Mix all ingredients together with your hands in a bowl. Form into patties. Cook on the barbecue or in a skillet over medium high heat.

YUUUUMMMO!

I'm trying a new "boating friendly" lunch tomorrow that I will post if it works out - stay tuned!
