Italian Sausage Turkey Burger – Bariatric Recipes

It’s burger season ya’ll!!!

This recipe is a great twist on a turkey burger with very little effort. The key is to buy Italian Turkey Sausage (uncooked) and use it to create the patties. I buy mine at Aldi when they are not yet cooked, but they are in casing. I can cut the casing off and remove the ground turkey meat.

Add the usual egg and grated parmesan cheese but that’s all you need! So much flavor already lives in the turkey sausage it’s not necessary to add more. That means just three ingredients for your burger!!
