South of the Border Turkey Burger

These delicious South of the Border Turkey Burgers can be grilled on a hot grill or cooked in a skillet.

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.
