I go ga-ga over turkey burger recipes. I'm always on the lookout for new ones... and this one looks divine.
ReplyDeleteI only have one probelm with true turkey burgers... I get hung up on the lack of color (by that I mean lack of brown) I've been known to add Kitchen Bouquet, worchestershire... ANYTHING... just to give them some color.
What do you think?
Mags - I've never used Kitchen Bouquet, so I can't comment on that. Worcestershire might be okay, but it may muddle the flavors a bit. I would try it though to see!
