Southwestern Style Turkey Burger

I made these South of the Border Turkey Burger with a pound of organic ground turkey meat. I loved them.

I have to tell you that these are some of the best turkey burgers I have ever eaten. The turkey burgers were moist and delicious.

I don't eat a lot of beef. I actually prefer a turkey or chicken burger. Turkey is a leaner substitution for a traditional beef burger.

How to make South of the Border Turkey Burgers

These South of the Border Turkey Burgers are packed full of flavor from all the delicious ingredients mixed in with the ground turkey meat. Red sweet Bell Peppers, banana peppers, garlic, onions, fresh yellow corn kernels, black beans and chunks of pepper jack cheese are all ingredients that make me think of Mexican or Tex Mex food.

Add some cumin and cook them on the grill and these South of the Border Turkey Burgers are going to rock your world this summer.

Top your South of the Border Turkey Burger with your favorite burger toppings like lettuce, tomato slices and the South of the Border Mayo I made special just for this turkey burger recipe.

It adds a nice layer of flavor that goes perfect with the flavors of the South of the Border Turkey Burger.
