As requested, here’s Big Will’s big, bad turkey burger recipe. But be ye warned: as a free-wheeling, fly by the seat of my pants sort of guy, I will not be supplying exact measurements for the ingredients. Just do what I do: eyeball it and use your nose. If there are any particular amounts load up on or watch out about going overboard with, I will note that here.

This weekend, we had three packages of ground turkey that made about a million burgers (I counted), and I love me some big burgers. Again, nose and eyeball, and you’ll knock it out of the park (or, at least get close!).

Burger Ingredients

1. Ground Turkey (Durr. They are turkey burgers, after all.)
2. Minced Onions
3. Garlic Powder (You can never have too much of the stuff!)
4. Black Pepper
5. Dry Mustard (You need a decent amount to get the flavor.)
6. Dill Weed (Potent in small amounts.)
7. Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
8. Worcestershire Sauce (At least four or five gallons’ worth.)
9. Hickory Seasoning Liquid Smoke (Just a couple shakes. Be careful – the stuff’s strong!)

Combine all the ingredients together in a big bowl. I like to add the liquids last, but that’s just me. C’mon, you guys know how to make burgers, right?

Garnishments

A great burger isn’t complete with delicious bonus goodies on top of it! Here’s what I’d suggest:

1. Swiss Cheese (Melt some of that goodness on top of the patties!)
2. Salami (Sounds crazy, but the delicious deli meat is the big secret! Add a slice of salami to the burger. Do it!)
3. Onions (Yellow or red, sautéed or raw. Yum.)

Alright gang, there you go. Enjoy!
