Bacon Cheddar Turkey Burgers
Ok. I know that you are thinking, turkey burgers are gross. Usually, I would have to agree. They are usually dry and/or poorly seasoned, but these cuties are NOT! They are stuffed with low fat cheddar cheese and bacon (yes, real bacon)! David was SO excited when he came home from work and there was REAL bacon on the counter – we almost always have turkey bacon instead so it was a big deal. Anyways, these guys are absolutely delicious.
