Delicious Turkey Burgers

Another Allrecipes.com recipe that Peter and I thoroughly enjoyed. I wanted to put the recipe here so I'd be able to find it quickly, again!

For four big burgers (The original recipe makes 12 burgers, so we reduced it.):

Ingredients:
* 1 pound ground turkey
* 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon seasoned bread crumbs
* 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon finely diced onion
* about 1 egg white, lightly beaten
* 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
* 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix ground turkey, seasoned bread crumbs, onion, egg whites, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form into patties.
2. Cook the patties in a medium skillet over medium heat, turning once, to an internal temperature of 180 degrees F.

A.MA.ZING. Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I got this from Allrecipes.com and will probably never make a different oatmeal raisin cookie. I think it's the cloves. Also, I added slightly more cinnamon than called for, and just used butter instead of the butter flavored shortening.

* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
* 1 cup packed light brown sugar
* 1/2 cup white sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 3 cups rolled oats
* 1 cup raisins

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, butter flavored shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Stir in the oats and raisins. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until light and golden. Do not over bake. Let them cool for 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheets to cool completely.
