TURKEY, CHICKEN BURGERS

DSCN5992 1024x714 TURKEY, CHICKEN BURGERS

I think that once you try these burgers you will very rarely go back to a beef burger, they are that good, and with the tasty yogurt sauce recipe I have added for you, you won’t want any sugar filled ketchup either. I hope you enjoy these as much as my family and I do!!!

Just in case you are wondering why I keep saying for you to chop everything fine, it’s because I have picky eaters in my house that like to pick out everything in their food, and this allows for me to get them to eat veggies. By the time the food is done cooking the vegetables shrink even more in size and they don’t even know they are eating them. Fortunately for me they don’t realize. If you prefer to have the actual ingredients visible by all means do so lol.
