Grilled Spicy Turkey Burgers

Grilled Spicy Turkey Burgers - A Cedar Spoon

In the summer the grill is our best friend!

Ok, more like my husband’s best friend. Grilling is a quick and easy way to cook food.  These Grilled Spicy Turkey Burgers were a hit in our house and are easy to throw together. You can adjust depending on how many people you are serving and how big you want the burgers to be.  I used jalapeño and Serrano peppers from my garden which gave them a good, fresh kick. We melted cheese on them right at the end of grilling and made a side of sweet potato fries. Perfect summer meal!

First you will prep the vegetables by chopping them and placing them in a mixing bowl…

I once bought a burger from a eatery several weeks ago and I didn't like the quality. I even decide I won't be buying for a well. But now, I guess I can actually try my hands on it right at the comfort of my own home. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us!
