Jalapeno Turkey Burgers Recipe

If you are looking for a burger with a bite, you can stop searching.  Not only is this burger packed with flavor, but it's made with ground turkey so it's healthier for you.  Next time I think I'll put a few slices of cooked turkey bacon on top!

2 jalapenos, seeded, cleaned and minced
