Cadillac Cowgirl Turkey Burgers

Don't turn your nose up at turkey - it's not just for Thanksgiving. Turkey is delicious, healthy and versatile. I love these burgers and prefer them over hamburgers any day. I use turkey in place of beef all the time...lasagna, meatloaf, ravioli, etc. You'll love these burgers and you won't miss beef after you try one!

2 lbs ground turkey
1 egg, beaten
3 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp Montreal Chicken seasoning
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Mix all of the ingredients together and shape into patties. (You should get about five patties). Place two or three of them in a large skillet and turn it on high. Allow the patties to brown for a few minutes on each side and then turn the heat down to medium, cover and cook until done....flip them a few times, though so one side doesn't burn. Drain them on paper towels when they're finished cooking. It took me about 10 minutes to cook three of them at a time. Turkey is really lean, so it can overcook pretty fast, but the egg and the mayo gives it a lot of moisture which keeps you from needing any oil or butter and keeps the turkey from drying out. I topped ours with cheddar cheese, bacon, red onion, tomato and avocados. Since I'm no carbing it for Lent, we ate them sans bun. (Gary poached my Lenten commitment since he is incapable of coming up with his own, so he no carbed it, too.) They were still delicious. Serve these with sweet potato fries or a salad. They're really healthy and you can change up the seasonings to suit your tastes.
