Southwest Turkey Burgers Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Ground Turkey Recipes. (Southwest Turkey Burgers Recipe). Most of the turkey burgers that I have had were overcooked and flavorless. This recipe was inspired by some friends of ours that put a Southwest spin on the burger. With a few tweaks these Southwest turkey burgers have become a staple recipe in our house. The patty is flavorful and plays well with some creamy guacamole and spicy salsa.
