Lemon-y Turkey Burgers PLUS Mrs. Dash Review

When Andrew was first diagnosed with high blood pressure, we knew we were going to have to change our diets. I thought this meant we were going to have to give up flavor. I was super wrong.

Mrs. Dash products were created in the 1980s from mom Carol Bernick, who was simply looking for a convenient way to flavor her family meals without using salt and was frustrated with the products available to her. I had tried Mrs. Dash seasonings in the past, but wasn’t aware the they had so many new varieties available. They currently have 14 seasonings in their product line and there’s certainly one that can fit any meal you are planning on cooking..

We currently have 6 of the varieties in our home and love every single one. We haven’t tried one that we don’t like yet. I highly recommend them for anything from rubs to flavoring veggies, even seafood. Basically, anything you would normally season, Mrs. Dash gives you ability to do that. The other great thing, is that because each one is a variety of different seasoning in one bottle, it allows you to need less regular seasonings, which saves you both space and money.

The other great thing is that Mrs. Dash even has recipes on their site, so if you aren’t sure how to use one of them, or just need a quick idea for dinner, you can go right there.

I’ve made lots of turkey burgers in the past, but I was looking for something different. Andrew gets bored with the same meals or some flavored meals, so it’s essential that I switch things up every one in awhile. I checked the Mrs. Dash website and found this recipe. I tweeked it a bit, but it was amazing.

Add all the ingredients to a bowl until well combined.

**I love adding a small amount of cheese to the mixture instead of eggs/breadcrumbs.

Shape into 4 patties.
**Burger tip–Do not overwork your meat. Shape into a ball, flatten and leave alone. By continuing to form and flatten, you take away the moisture, leaving you with dry burgers.

Whether cooking on the grill or stove, spray both sides of each patty lightly with cooking spray so they won’t stick. I used our George Foreman to cook and they were done in about 5 minutes. If using the stove or regular grill, cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, turning only once after the first side has browned. The internal temperature for turkey burgers should be 165 degrees in the center of the burger.

Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1 tbsp Mrs Dash Lemon Pepper Seasoning Blend
1 tbsp Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend
1/4 cup Colby Shredded Cheese
Cooking spray
Favorite burgers toppings (onions, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce is what we prefer)

Directions:
Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix until well combined. Shape into 4 patties. Spray each side of the patty with cooking spray. Grill on medium high heat on each side 5-6 minutes, turning once after first side has browned. Internal temperature should be 165 degrees in the center of the burger. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.
