The Perfect Juicy Cajun Turkey Burgers

Summer means grilled burgers right? Well not all the time, here’s a little ground turkey recipe I cooked up for the weekend, the Cajun Turkey Burgers. I’m not a beef eater so I have to get creative when it comes to burgers. I normally eat just a normal turkey burger but I wanted something different. Note, that I didn’t use most of the ingredients because peppers and hot sauce just aren’t my thing.
