Turkey Burgers with Gravy

Turkey is so versatile you can make so many different variations. Here is my favorite way to make burgers. If you want them to be even leaner, try using ground turkey breast. They will be drier and I prefer lean ground turkey. Chicken base may be found on your grocery store’s soup isle. If you can’t find it just use a cup of canned chicken stock.. When I make this recipe I also make some instant mashed potatoes and a side dish of frozen vegetables.
