Turkey Burgers

1 package ground turkey
1 cup finely chopped carrot
1 small yellow onion or 6 scallions, chopped
1/3 cup dry oatmeal
1/4 cup low-sodium
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 whole grain dinner rolls or hamburger buns

Preheat the oven to 400.

In a small skillet, cook onions in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat, until tender, about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, stir together the meat, cooked onions, carrots, soy sauce, garlic, and pepper with a wooden spoon; the mixture will be moist. Form into 16 small patties and place them on a sheet of waxed paper or aluminum foil.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  When the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil.     Add the burgers and cook until golden brown on one side, 4 to 5 minutes.
(You will have to do this in batches.  Don't crowd the pan or they won't get golden brown.)  Turn the burgers, then slide the skillet into the oven and bake for 4 to 5 minutes longer, until the burgers are no longer pink in the center. (If you don't have an oven-proof skillet just wrap the plastic handle of your regular skillet with tinfoil and it will be fine in the oven.)  Serve each burger on a split roll or bun.

(You can add in any veggies you have on hand!  Mushrooms, chopped zucchini, squash, peppers.  Just saute them with the onions and proceed with the recipe.  Try different veggies in there, it's such a good and simple recipe!)
