Italian Turkey Burgers
I do admit, I love a good burger. And in the middle of a cold and snowy winter I dream of warm summer evenings grilling a juicy burger. My burger preference? Turkey burgers. They give me the satisfaction of a beefy hamburger with less guilt. I have shared several of my turkey burger recipe in the past such as Maple and Cheddar Turkey Burgers and the popular Feta and Basil Turkey Burgers. Recently I created this recipe for Italian Turkey Burgers that I think may be a new favorite. It combines my love of Italian with my love of a good burger all in one bite.
These flavorful burgers are easy to make. You may choose to grill them, cook them on the skillet or I recently have been cooking these burgers in the oven. The secret or not so secret ingredient to this juicy burger lies all in the spices. It should come to no surprise that I love spices and herbs, hence Mother “Thyme”. The one thing I do invest in is good quality spices and herbs. Trust me, it makes a world of difference. Good spices can take an ordinary dish and turn it into something extraordinary.
I have fallen in love with Peugeot spice mills. Peugeot has been around since the 19th century making finely crafted grinders and mills. They have been used by gourmets cooks in world class kitchens from around the world. Whether you like to dry your own herbs or enjoy cooking with herbs, you will absolutely love these spice mills where you can add your freshly dried herbs and grind them to perfection.

Whether you enjoy grinding your own coffee or for peppercorns and spices, Peugeot has created mills and grinders for centuries that are like no other I have tried.

That burger looks so yummy! The Peugeot Spice Mill is an excellent way to wake up dried spices. Really hoping I win it.
Can’t really say that I have one favorite spice, but lately I’ve been on a dill kick.
My favorite spice is freshly ground nutmeg, and my favorite herb is thyme–both so aromatic and flavorful.
I love basil
I love different kinds of pepper and also I’ve been using anise quite a bit lately.
I would have to say cinnamon is my favorite spice, but basil is my favorite herb.
Is garlic a spice? I know I put it in nearly everything I make, except dessert. I do love cayenne pepper too!
