Turkey Burgers

So, you might remember my secret admiration of Ray Ray.... It continues with these burgers. They appear almost weekly in the summer months, and the recipe has traveled as far south as Miami, where the little sis chefs them up for her man as well.

Turkey Burgers
Adapted from: Comfort Foods
Makes 3 large burgers, or 4 smaller ones
1 1/4 pounds ground turkey (1 package)
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 stalk celery from center of bunch, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped or one scallion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
Sliced cheese of your choice

Combine all ingredients, except cheese, in a bowl and form into 3 or 4 patties depending on your preference.
Heat grill on high and place burgers on oiled grates. Alternately, you can also cook them in a nonstick skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook on each side for 5-7 minutes and melt cheese on top of burgers for last minute if you choose.
Serve on buns with toppings of your choice.
