I cut the recipe in half since I had only 1.29 pounds of turkey. Took like 5 minutes to combine everything, I am letting the burgers sit for some time for the flavors to meld together.

This recipe was horrible, I cooked it under the brolier like it said but it fell apart. I think the recipe needs an egg or something, I don't know.
