I detest turkey in all forms, so have never been able to choke down a turkey burger. However, I was interested in limiting beef in my diet since I've been on Weight Watchers.
This afternoon I ground equal portions of chicken breast and thigh meat and added a couple of tablespoons of schmaltz for the necessary fat to hold it together. Seasoned the mixture with small amounts of finely chopped onion, Old Bay, and cracked black pepper, then refrigerated it to firm up. Formed patties and grilled 'til done.
Although David likes turkey burgers, he pronounced these infinitely better. I really liked them, too.
