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…
then add the crushed red pepper, cilantro and salt..
next add the turkey to the veggie and spice mix and mix with hands…
then form the burgers to your desired size..
finally you are ready to grill…
After about 15 minutes (flipping half way through) you should be ready to enjoy…

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!
