Jalapeño and Cheese Turkey Burgers

jalapeno-burgers

These burgers are seriously the bomb.com! I like to eat mine open faced on a toasted slice of sprouted wheat bread. You can bun the whole thing, or have it protein style sans bread. If you do add a slice of bread be sure to add another yellow container to your fixate portions. These are GREAT for meal prep and keep well in the fridge.

20oz lean ground turkey
