"Rock and roll is the hamburger that ate the world."

The refrigerator light goes on...
Most ground turkey is mixed and often more dark meat than breast meat. Ask your butcher for breast meat if it’s available. There’s a lot less fat and the burgers will be a little more tender. If you do use breast meat only, there’s more need for the oil or the burgers will be dry. If you can only get dark meat, you will find less need for the oil.
