Grilled Turkey Burgers

Claudia has been on holidays these past few weeks and getting some much needed rest and relaxation in our second family house in Saskatchewan. I will be taking the 5 hour drive out to meet her shortly to spend some time fishing, canning veggies from the garden (stay tuned for recipes!) and relaxing with the family. The house in Saskatchewan is probably one of my favourite places in the world. The house was my grandparents, and growing up I would spend every summer out there. The house is literally in the middle of nowhere. A very small community of 6 or 7 houses make up the town. Actually, the place is too small to be an official town. According to the 2006 Canadian Census,  it is a hamlet with grand total of 15 residents. It is so peaceful and quiet out there. Reminds me of a simpler time, really.

I haven’t been out to the house in Saskatchewan for almost 2 years. The last time I was out there Claudia made these Grilled Turkey Burgers. I believe the original recipe called for Stove Top Stuffing Mix, and since we were in the middle of nowhere, we had none. So she improvised. I personally like these a lot better than the original recipe. They are juicy, healthy, delicious and the simplest dinner you will make.

You will need:

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

Mix until completely combined. I use my hands because I find it easier.

Form into patties and place on the BBQ. Told you it was easy!

Grill until completely cooked.

You can use your favourite barbecue sauce as well. We like to use a sweeter one like Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey. But any favourite will do.

Remove from grill and allow to rest on a plate for a few minutes.

Top with your favourite condiments or veggies.

I top mine with grilled pineapple and grilled jalapenos!

Enjoy!
