Mexican Turkey Burgers
Cumin and chili pepper bring exciting flavor to these healthy turkey burgers. Plain yogurt works well as a topping.
Notes
The burgers can fall apart easily, so grilling them is not advisable. They are very moist and juicy when done! Serve on onion buns with yogurt as a topping.
