The delicious pairing comes after a bit of research, and it turns out people have been searching for the perfect turkey burger recipes, and how long you need to cook a burger on the BBQ. So here’s the answer!

Check out the recipes below, and let us know how they turned out. For more recipes, check out ThinkTurkey.ca Get Grilling recipe section.
