Turkey Burgers

1½ pounds ground turkey
1 (1-ounce) package dry onion soup mix
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1½ Tablespoons soy sauce
1 egg, lightly beaten (optional)

In a large bowl, mix the turkey with the onion soup mix, pepper, garlic powder, soy sauce and egg. Refrigerate the mixture for about 10 minutes. Form into four (6-ounce) or six (4-ounce) patties.

Preheat the grill for medium-high heat.

Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the patties on the grill. Cook for 20 minutes, turning once, or until well done. The inside of the burgers will look whitish in color when cooked through. Serve on buns with desired condiments. Yield: Four to six burgers.
