This recipe can be used for burgers or cooked in a loaf like a traditional meat loaf. Adapted from The Perricone Promise.

Makes 4 burgers or 1 loaf 

1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (organic free-range if possible)
1/4 cup minced onion
3/4 cup coarsley ground oatmeal (put in blender and pulse until the oatmeal is the consistency of bread crumbs)
1 egg
1/4 cup minced celery
1/4 cup milk, soy milk, or stock
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Mix all the ingredients well. Form into 1-inch-thick patties and place in a lightly oiled skillet. Cook the burgers over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until browned and crispy. Flip the burgers carefully and cook for 5 minutes longer, or until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees (Fahrenheit) and the meat is no longer pink. Server the burgers hot.

If you are making a loaf, preheat the oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit). Form the misture into a loaf and pack into a lightly oiled 8 x 4-inch baking pan. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the loaf begins to pull away from the pan.
