Turkey Burgers With Honey Mustard Dressing

This is a recipe that stemmed out of one thing.  Hamburger has not been cheap, but I was able to find ground turkey on clearance, so I figured I'd make burgers with that instead.

Unfortunately, ground turkey is well...bland.  So, I came up with this recipe to up the flavor content and also the moisture content of the ground turkey. 

And they turned out so well that my daughter even liked the final result.
