Mini Turkey Burgers


These mini turkey burger are crazy delicious!

With a tease of summers gorgeous weather this weekend we were able to light the BBQ and enjoy our patio. These were such a healthy treat (under 200 calories per burger), bursting with juicy flavor and a refreshing alternative to your regular run of the mill oily beef burgers.

I can hardly wait for summer to arrive, for months of BBQing, picnics and more mini burgers!

    They certainly look pretty. Also high meat to bun ratio compared with regular burgers

    I love sliders but hate the feeling that I'm eating so much unnecessary bread. These look so delicious, and I love that you used these thin little buns! I've got to get my hands on some of those. Thanks for sharing, Mary!

    Your burgers are so neat and pretty, I don't feel like I'd be able to tuck into them! But they also look yummy, so I think I would :)

    Mini foods are the best! When I ate meat I always enjoyed turkey burgers way more than other kinds. Now I am very happy with black bean burgers. I love this picture, it is so bright and springy!

    Oh goodness, these look delicious and delightful. I would love to bite into one right now. My only question is the mini slider thins...I have not seen these in the market. Are they in your normal grocery store or a specialty store?

  21. Mary @Delightful BitefulsApril 19, 2011 at 4:01 PM

    @Sweet and Crumby - I did buy mine at a normal grocery store in the bread section. They had a few options... Hope you're able to find some and try this recipe out! xo

    These would be full of flavour and a selective range of different textures that complement eachother perfectly! I love it! Sometimes the best recipe is a miniature dish because it makes people saver the flavours and appreciate the textures and taste!

    Lovely.

    Cheers,

    Looks delicious! I recently just made turkey burgers with bacon and blue cheese, topped with onion, lettuce, and tomato. The bacon and blue cheese give it a different, but good flavor! Love your blog - very cute! Happy blogging :)
