This recipe uses some of the same techniques and seasonings as the shish kebab to improve the dull turkey burger. For something made with meat that is 95% fat free this is pretty good!

These turkey burgers were a bit dry, but the chipotle mayo helped to add some flavor. I would recommend adding some more moisture to the burgers, such as breadcrumbs or grated vegetables.
