Why Turkey Burgers Deserve a Spot on Your Menu

Turkey burgers often get a bad rap for being dry or bland—but not these. With finely chopped onion, fresh parsley, garlic, and Dijon, they’re anything but boring. Chilling the patties before grilling helps them stay juicy and firm. Serve them on a lettuce wrap, sweet potato round, or a grain-free bun for a totally customized, clean-eating meal.
