South of the Border Turkey Burger

Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Shady Brook Farms. I received complimentary products to make this South of the Border Turkey Burger recipe as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Memorial Day will be here in a couple of weeks. I’ll be breaking out our grill along with many of you and serving these South of the Border Turkey Burgers. I don’t eat a lot of beef. I actually prefer a turkey burger. Turkey is a leaner substitution for those traditional Memorial Day burgers and hot dogs.

Shady Brook Farms has a huge selection of turkey products. They have ground turkey, turkey sausage, turkey tenderloins, pre-made turkey burger patties and all of their turkey products are made from turkeys raised without growth-promoting antibiotics. Shady Brook Farms has more than 700 independent farmers who raise their turkeys without growth-promoting antibiotics.

When buying turkey products look for the USDA Process Verified seal on packaging to be sure you are buying turkey that has been produced without growth promoting antibiotics.

I made these South of the Border Turkey Burger with a pound of Shady Brook Farms ground turkey meat. I loved it. 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’ve cooked with a few other brands of ground turkey meat and made burger very similar to these and was a bit disappointed because the burgers turn out a bit dry and didn’t have much flavor.
