Asian Turkey Burgers
When we went to St. Louis to view the 2017 eclipse, Kevin and Katy built a party around the event and served these luscious Asian Turkey Burgers. They reminded us of our Porkies (Barbecued Pork Patties) on this site, but are probably a bit healthier. We made them for a group of friends and they were a real hit.

Notes
Ground turkey does not hold it's shape well, so it is essential to pan-fry the burgers. They would probably not work well on the grill.
