5 Ingredients: Mix-and-Match Turkey Burgers by Dana Angelo White in 5-Ingredient Recipes, April 4, 2011
- Sun-Dried Tomato and Olive Turkey Burger
The trick to delicious turkey burgers is keeping them tender and juicy. Since the meat doesn’t contain much fat (and therefore, not much flavor) you need to combine it with a few simple add-ins to give things a boost. We dreamed up 5 flavorful mix-ins for the turkey burgers, each with 5 ingredients or less!

(*1/2 cup chopped red onions sautéed with 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar – cool before adding to meat)
