Turkey burger lovers, rejoice!
People who think they don’t like turkey burgers have another thing coming. I guess if you don’t eat meat, I’ll give you a break this time.
This burger is just so juicy, and it’s super flavorful from the cumin and a little “bite” from the sliced jalapeño topping.
Every time I cook a turkey burger to perfection and it’s dripping with juice and bursting with flavor, I forget how much I love them. Until that first bite, then I’m like…
Oh yeah!
Welcome back my precious turkey burger!
Bill makes a mean turkey burger himself. I still find myself thinking about his Thai Turkey Burgers with Cucumber Pepper Relish and Spicy Mayo. His spicy mayo recipe is pure and utter heaven.
Ok, back to the point… make this!
