Burgers are such an easy summertime meal! While beef makes the classic burger, it’s fun to change things up with turkey burgers sometimes. I like their flavor, but the challenge is making sure they’re not dry.
Hubby came up with the technique of adding grated carrot to give the burgers moisture. In addition to using ground turkey with a moderate amount of fat, the result is moist, juicy turkey burgers! Seasoned with garlic powder, cilantro and hot pepper, these turkey burgers have a great Tex-Mex flavor with a hint of sweetness from the carrot. You can top them as you like. A few suggestions are grilled pineapple slices, avocado slices or guacamole.
