Freakin' Fantastic Turkey Burgers*

*this is the most accurate description I could come up with for them :)

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 bell pepper finely chopped (any color will work)
1/2 medium onion finely chopped
1/4 c. finely chopped mushrooms
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices cheese
buns
Any toppings you like

Instructions:
1. Take onion, mushrooms and bell pepper and cook to soften. You could saute in olive oil but I just cooked them in the microwave until they were tender.

2. Combine meat, veggies and seasoning. Make 4 patties (about 180 calories each).

3. Grill or cook in non-stick pan. Be careful when handling because these are more delicate when raw than hamburgers. Cook thoroughly. Try to minimize number of turns.

4. When done melt cheese on top (optional) and serve on bun with toppings of choice.
-classic toppings are great: ketchup, mustard, mayo, tomato, lettuce, pickles etc.
-make great Hawaiian burgers with pineapple, bacon and bbq

I will be trying this recipe on Friday since we are having "burger night" here at home. I don't care for hamburgers so much so I will try this alternative and let the males have the beef.
