How To Make spicy turkey-bulgur burgers

  • 1
    Place the bulgur in a 2-quart heatproof bowl. Add the boiling water, and set the mixture aside for 5 minutes.
  • 2
    Add turkey, egg or substitute, onion, marjoram, salt, pepper, and mustard to the bulgur mixture and mix well.
  • 3
    Using floured hands, form the mixture into 8 patties as thin as possible for a flatter size meat. Coat a ceramic skillet with organic olive oil and/or spray, and cook the patties over medium heat for 7 minutes on each side, or until browned and crisp. Transfer the patties to a cookie sheet to drain, works well, or a plate, because the oil makes the burger taste better, no need to drain on paper towels.
  • 4
    Cut each spelt bun in half. Spread the bottom half of each bun with condiments of your choice. Follow with a patty burger, and remaining vegetables. Serve!
