5 Things to Know Today About Your Money — May 12, 2026

  A lot is happening in the Canadian money world right now. From a new sovereign wealth fund you can actually invest in, to lower payroll costs coming your way, here are the five things every Canadian should know about their money today. 1. The Bank of Canada Is Holding Rates — For Now On April 29, 2026 , the Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 2.25% (Bank Rate: 2.50%, deposit rate: 2.20%). Governor Tiff Macklem has flagged that the economy is growing at a moderate pace as it adjusts to U.S. tariffs, but inflation — now around 2.4% — is edging up due to higher oil prices tied to the ongoing Middle East conflict. The Bank projects 1.2% economic growth for 2026, picking up to 1.6% in 2027. What it means for you: Variable-rate mortgage and line-of-credit holders get a brief reprieve — but watch oil prices. If inflation keeps rising, a rate hike could follow. 2. Your CPP Contributions Are Getting a Cut in 2027 The 2026 Spring Economic Update proposes to reduce the base CPP con...

Skillet Turkey Burgers


\

Juicy and savory with a well-browned crust, these skillet turkey burgers rival the best beef burgers.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1¼ pounds 93% lean ground turkey 
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup whole milk Ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for cooking
  • 4 hamburger buns (lightly toasted and buttered, if desired)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
  2. 2. Place the ground turkey in a medium-size bowl. Add the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ricotta cheese, bread crumbs, and mustard. Using your hands, mix until well blended. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions. Lightly toss one portion from hand to hand to form a ball, then lightly flatten the ball with your fingertips into a ¾-inch-thick patty with a slight depression in the center (this prevents the burgers from puffing up when cooked). Repeat with the remaining portions.
  3. 3. Heat a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium heat until very hot, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the oil to the pan and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the burgers and cook over medium heat, without moving the burgers, until the bottom side of each is dark golden brown and crusted, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the burgers over; continue to cook until the bottom side is light brown but not yet crusted, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer the pan to the oven and continue cooking for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the burgers are completely cooked (an instant-read thermometer inserted from the side of the burger into the center should register 160°F). Remove the burgers from the pan and serve immediately.
  4. Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The uncooked burgers can be frozen for up to three months. (Freeze the burgers on a baking sheet or plate so their shape sets, then transfer them to a sealable plastic bag for easy storage.) Defrost the burgers overnight in the refrigerator prior to serving and then cook as directed.
