Yumm Turkey Burgers

Turkey Burger Recipe

Turkey Burgers are the perfect quick summer meal. they are full of deliciousness and not to mention are extra lean and healthy. My favourite part is everyone gets to add their own personal toppings ! Turkey contains Niacin, Vitamin B6 and B12, iron and zinc. Turkey is good for your heart, your immune system and a super source of selenium which is of critical importance for a number of our bodily functions including thyroid hormone metabolism & antioxidant defence systems.

** Read the label carefully so that it is ground from breast meat with no added skin. Look for ground turkey that is 99 percent fat-free. If the figure is higher, it probably contains dark meat and/ or skin. **
