Mans True Calling #2

So here is the second entry on grilling. For this post I decided to do a more entree type dish that everyone loves. Burgers! So I found this recipe for turkey burgers in one of my moms magazines.

1 1/2 pounds ground dark meat turkey
2 ounce grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for grates
Hamburger Buns
Desired toppings

1. Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, place turkey, cheese, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon coarse salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix very gently with a fork to combine, being careful not to overwork meat (which would make burgers dense).
2.Gently form meat into 4 equal-size patties, inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Press thumb in the center of each patty to make an indentation approximately 1/2-inch deep (this help keeps burgers flat during grilling).
3.Moisten a folded paper towel with oil; grasp with tongs and rub over grates. Season burgers with salt and peeper; grill until cooked throughout, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Serve on buns (toasted on grill, if you like), with desired toppings.

So this recipe was pretty enjoyable. We added pepper jack cheese over the top.
