Must be too much fat in them. I've never had turkey burgers fall apart on
me before.

Here's a recipe from the 1980's version of Cooking Light Magazine (before
they decided "Light" meant nothing but desserts).

Turkey Burgers for Two

8 oz. lean ground turkey
1 green onion, minced
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. hot sauce (I used Tabasco)
2 tsp. low-salt soy sauce
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
2 toasted whole wheat buns
desired vegeable toppings

In a medium mixing bowl combine ground turkey, onion, soy sauce, ground
ginger, sesame oil and Tabasco. Form mixture into patties about 3/4 inch
thick. Broil 5-6 inches from heat (or from coals). Serve on buttered,
toasted wheat buns with your choice of toppings.

They don't fall apart
