Broccoli Cheddar Bacon Turkey Burgers

by theUngourmet

1 lb ground turkey
4 slices of turkey bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
2/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 cup fresh or frozen chopped broccoli (if frozen, allow to thaw partially)
1 cup grated sharp cheddar
1 egg
2 tsp dried chopped onion
1 clove minced garlic
1 tbsp dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients. Shape into patties. Grill, broil or pan fry.

Serve on your choice of bun and garnish as desired.

I served these burgers with a side of baked sweet potato fries. I sliced the sweet potatoes fairly thin, tossed with olive oil, kosher salt, cracked pepper and parsley. I spread them out in a single later on a well oiled baking sheet and baked at 425 until slightly browned, about 25 minutes, turning once half way through the baking time.
