It was a brave move to follow up the recipe I’d declared to be the “perfect burger” with a turkey burger meal.
But this meal was so different from the traditional burger that no hint of exhaustion of grilling/burgers/meat even entered our minds. 
My husband loved this burger so much that he declared making it must be a summer tradition. After one bite, he immediately said we need to invite people over and serve them these burgers!

Notes
These burgers are perfect for summer gatherings and can be made a tradition for grilling season. Serve with fresh buns and your favorite toppings. You can store leftover patties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Consider adding a slice of fresh cucumber or a dollop of yogurt for extra freshness.
