Juicy Turkey Burger Recipe

These turkey burgers are so flavorful and juicy they really surprise me every time. We enjoy them served on brioche or sesame buns with blue cheese, gouda cheese, tomato, and romaine lettuce. 

For the easiest weeknight dinner, I sometimes turn this same exact recipe into a delicious meatloaf. This recipe is diabetes friendly by substituting almond flour in place of  bread crumbs.

Buen provecho!
