Teriyaki Turkey Burgers

Burgers are an all American feast, however after adding all the toppings and bun, let alone the beef itself, they can be really high in calories and fat. I on the other hand LOVE turkey burgers. I feel satisfied and not weighed down. This turkey burger recipe is simple, fast, and the teriyaki gives it a nice flavor.

I paired this dish with a nice caprese salad, roasted vegetables, and caramelized onions and mushrooms. The recipe for the roasted vegetables is also included!

Ingredients for the Teriyaki Turkey Burgers:
- package of ground turkey
- 1 cup oats (instead of bread crumbs)
- 2/3 cups teriyaki sauce
- pepper to taste

Directions for the Teriyaki Turkey Burgers:
- in a large mixing bowl, mash up the ground turkey. Add the teriyaki sauce as well as the oats. Mix well. Add in as much or little pepper as you want.
- Form the meat with all of the mixings into patties (About 5 can be made from a pound)
- Cook in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes

Ingredients for the Roasted Vegetables:
- any and all vegetables you desire! I made this with red peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, zucchini, and kale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- rosemary to taste
- garlic powder

Directions for the Roasted Vegetables:
- chop all vegetables and mix in a large mixing bowl.
- add the olive oil and rosemary and garlic powder and mix more
- on a large baking sheet, spread foil and spray with cooking spray
- spread the vegetables out evenly and place in the oven at 400 for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes

The ground turkey mixed with the teriyaki sauce as well as the oats

Turkey formed into patties (my toasted is also a convection oven)

Final product! Turkey burgers topped with caramelized onions and mushrooms with roasted vegetables on the side, as well as a caprese salad

Cheers!
