    This recipe for Bacon Wrapped Turkey Burgers is loaded with flavour! Bake in the oven or grill on the BBQ. Simply skip the bacon  for a low fat healthier version.
    Bacon Wrapped Turkey Burgers
    Ground turkey is a great alternative to ground beef if you are trying to cut back the amount of red meat you eat. It can be used as a substitution for ground beef in chilis, soups, stews, and even meatloaf. Use "ground turkey breast" instead of "ground turkey" to reduce the fat. I usually adjust and modify the spices used as ground turkey can taste a bit more bland than ground beef. For my Bacon Wrapped Turkey Burgers I used seasoned breadcrumbs and chili sauce to add some great flavour.

    Be careful not to overcook especially if using ground turkey breast, or you will have dry burgers. One of the best kitchen gadgets I ever invested in was a meat thermometer. Takes the second guessing out of whether your meat is done or not.

      Thanks Chris, one could always omit the bacon or substitute it for turkey bacon for a healthier choice. I like making this recipe into Turkey Meatballs.

      If you grind onions up in the blender and add them to the turkey meat it helps add moisture to the ground turkey and use lower heat settings
