This recipe is a family favorite. Andrea gave it to me at my wedding shower and I've made it many times since. Quick, easy, and delicious! The only modifications I make are with the hot sauce and shallot. Nate doesn't like onions/oniony things, so I usually add a little less than the recipe requires. And I lower the hot sauce just a tad when Calvin will be eating with us. (Sometimes I split the meat mixture into two and then add more hot sauce to one batch.)
We typically serve these burgers with sweet potato fries, which I buy frozen from Costco (Cheater. Sorry, I probably shouldn't have posted that as part of the menu plan since I didn't make them myself). Last night we had green and red pepper slices, too, since Calvin is a big fan of those and it was just the two of us.
A quick and easy meal that also left me enough time to prep for Wednesday night's dinner. Gotta love that!

Frozen sweet potato fries?! Gasp! Just kidding... It's your challenge you can do whatever you want with it! :)
And I'd love to try this...but am not sure I could convince Tony that turkey burgers are okay. He's also not a fan of stove-top hamburgers. It's lame. I know.
