Answer 2

1 lb ground turkey meat
1 packet Liption Onion soup mix
1 tsp A-1 steak sauce
1 egg

Combine mixture with hands and form into 4-6 hamburger patties. Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. Grill

These are low-fat because of the turkey but still flavorful due to the onion mix

Answer 3

Make patties, but try not to handle too much...makes it less juicy. Sprinkle over top of each patty a small amount of Lawry's Seasoned Salt, garlic powder and Accent. I make mine about 1/2 - 3/4 inch thick and put them on the George Forman for about 5 minutes. Delicious!! And the aroma while they cook is Fab!

Answer 4

Lipton's onion soup mix, salt and pepper, garlic and a shot of Worcestershire sauce. Top with some shredded sharp cheddar cheese before they come off the grill so they are all ooey-gooey! MMM, sounds like a plan for dinner!

Answer 5

For every pound of ground beef, use 1 egg and 1 cup of bread crumbs, chop up some onion or use the French's fried onions crumbled, a bit of garlic powder( opt.). Form into patties and grill.

Answer 6

My best burger is made with ground breast of turkey. I smother it with McCormicks spicy salt free seasoning and grill it until both sides are seared.

I like this burger on a whole grain pita with sliced tomatoes and a big blob of hummus. Sweet potato fries go nicely as a side.

Answer 7

Add a little red wine, and worchestershire sauce to the meat. Put some bleu cheese and bacon bits in the center of a patty. mmmmm

Answer 8

I like to take groud chicken, turkey or beef would work too, mix a little taco seasoning (or just chilli powder), choped banana peppers, onion and diced pepper check cheese, mix it together and make patties, yum.

I also will mix diced chedder, bacon peices and seasoning, barBQ sce if you like. they are good too. Especially with potatoe salad.

Answer 9

My personal favorite is to take a pouch of liptons onion soup mix and a touch of water and mix it in the ground meat and pat them out myself. Then do them up on the grill.

Answer 10

I like to coat my burger with All season salt and soy sauce before BBQ. MMM good.
