Savory Turkey Burgers with Bread Crumbs

This picture is from only the second time dining al fresco on our patio this year. Our weather flip flopped, and March was warmer than April, and May's weather  is typical of what we usually have in May. This evening was a perfect blue sky and a little breeze, not too hot, not too cold, and no bugs, yet, the kind that you want to "bottle up", and save for a January snowstorm.

This particular evening Scott made turkey burgers, but decided to add fresh bread crumbs to hold the burgers together better, and make them moister.  Adding the bread crumbs in addition to the herbs was a perfect idea, because the turkey burgers were so moist, not the least bit dry, and so flavorful. He added minced garlic, fresh basil, and  Herbs de Provence to the fresh bread crumbs. You can make fresh bread crumbs with your food processor, just use the pre-made type, if you are in a hurry.  We never use ground beef to make the burgers anymore.  Believe me, it's has taken quite a while for Scott to reach this point, saying that now Turkey Burgers are his favorite.  Because we are always watching the carbs, we don't use hamburger buns, either.  However, if you don't have to worry about carbs, go ahead and add your favorite toppings and a bun to the burger. As you can see Scott has to have theose perfect grill marks.  He sets the timer to turn the burgers quarter turns to achieve those perfect grill marks. Enjoy!
