How to Keep Turkey Burgers From Falling Apart
Ground turkey can fall apart while making a burger shape or cooking. Prevent this from happening by adding a type of filler. Fillers help the meat stick together without adding much flavor. The amount of texture the filler adds depends on what you use. For example, rice is going be more noticeable than cracker crumbs. Experiment with different fillers until you find one that works best for you. If you are looking to add flavor with the filler, use seasoned items, like fried rice.

- 1 egg
- Bread crumbs
- Saltine crackers

Instructions
-
Break up the ground turkey in the bowl.
-
Add 1/2 cup of bread crumbs or crushed crackers. Use 1/2 cup of filler per pound of ground turkey. You can also use one egg per pound of ground turkey.

Remove a chunk of the meat and shape into a burger. Place the burger on a platter or plate. Cook as desired.
