Jalapeño Turkey Burgers with Basil Mayo : It May be Turkey, But It’s Anything But Dry!

Sometimes people are afraid of turkey burgers because they can be a bit dry. Not the case here! We like to use 85% lean turkey for this burger, so it’s nice and juicy. We add spices and fresh jalapeño to make it super flavorful. But the flavor doesn’t end there!
