1. Heat grill on high.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, add the first 7 ingredients and mix to combine. Add the ground turkey to the seasoning mix, along with the beaten egg and bread crumbs. Using a fork, mix all ingredients together just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

3. Divide turkey mix into for equal portions. Form into patties.

Top it all with the top of the bun.

• For a side, I served Creamy Potato Salad. Other sides that will go with this Mustard-Herbed Turkey Burger include, grilled corn, leafy green salad, baked beans, homemade fries, etc.

• When cooking your burger, avoid pressing down on the patty, as this cause the loss of precious juices that make your burger juicy. For the perfect grill marks, ensure that your grill is heated for about 15 minutes before cooking.

• I used homemade Sourdough Hamburger Buns as the vehicle for my burger patties.
