My mom used to cook these juicy burgers in butter or a little bacon fat. I do all of my sauteing in olive oil or nonstick cooking spray, yet my turkey burgers taste just as delicious as Mom's.

Ingredients

1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 pound lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 whole wheat sandwich rolls, split
6 lettuce leaves
6 thin tomato slices

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook patties in oil in two batches over medium heat until a thermometer reaches 165° and juices run clear. Serve on rolls with lettuce and tomato.
