“Now this is the kind of dinner I can get into.” That’s what my husband said when he sat down to the table with four plates that looked exactly the same (a rarity). The menu: California-style turkey burgers and baked potatoes topped with sour cream and caramelized onions. I usually mix in a little barbecue sauce to the ground turkey (dark ground turkey a must) before I roll out the meat (underneath plastic wrap) but this time I just salted. As for the rolling?

the way the burger tastes, but it prevents the patties from shriveling up into little hard hockey pucks. And psychologically I love that it feels so In-N-Out. (I say this having never patronized an In-N-Out, by the way.) After the burgers are fried, I add a little mayo, a little mustard, one leaf of bibb lettuce, a tomato, and sandwich it between whole wheat buns that I pick up at Trader Joe’s. Final touch: Little pickles, aka cornichons.
i love this—am so making this tomorrow night.
I can’t remember how I found your blog, but I am so glad that I did!
These recipes are awesome.
Normally, my family makes alternate suggestions when I tell them it’s turkey burger night… That is, until, I made this recipe for turkey burgers. Rolling them out and pan-frying them makes ALL the difference. They’re not like the dried-out ones I’ve made in the oven!!!! Love this recipe!
