Ingredients
bacon
12 (slices)
gingerroot

fine dry breadcrumbs
1/2 (cup)
Worcestershire sauce
1 (teaspoon)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to broil at 550 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until they are just limp, not crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and allow them to cool slightly on a paper towel-lined plate.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, fine dry breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, gingerroot, garlic salt, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
4
Shape the turkey mixture into six equal patties, each about 1/2 inch thick.
5
Take two slices of the cooked bacon and crisscross them over each turkey patty, tucking the ends underneath the patties. If necessary, secure the bacon in place using wooden toothpicks.
6
Place the bacon-wrapped patties on a broiler pan lined with aluminum foil. Broil them in the oven, about 4 inches from the heat source, for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until the turkey is cooked through and springs back when touched.
7
Alternatively, you can grill the burgers on medium heat for about 6-8 minutes per side, ensuring that they are cooked all the way through.
8
Remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your burgers with your favorite toppings and condiments!
