Southwest Turkey Burgers

So Jody was over for dinner, and we tried out a few new recipes - this one and the tomato crumble. The burgers were tasty with a bit of zip - I thought so more than others, but Liam ate his whole burger, so ...

1 egg, beaten
2 Tbps (30ml) water
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp (15 ml) Ve 3 onion Dip mix
1 Tbsp VE Louisiana Hot & Spicy dip mix
1 lb lean ground turkey
1/4 c breadcrumbs - I used dry
1/2 tsp each S & P

1) whisk 1st 5 ingredients together in a large mixing bowl - I used my stand mixer
2) mix in turkey, bread crumbs and S & P to taste
3) form patties - the book says 4 @ 1/2" Jody made 5 with 2 smaller for the little guys
4) Cook for 10 minutes on greased grill over med-high heat with lid closed, flip once and cook until thermometer is at 176 - I BBQed them to 185
5) Serve on crusty or whole wheat buns with lettuce, tomatoes, etc
