Veggielicious Turkey Burgers

I love grilled burgers but with the weather changing rapidly, it looks like the days of grilling are almost over. We had some nice weather and decided to try these turkey burgers. I love all the veggies that are incorporated into the burgers and the flavor you get from them being there. We had these healthy and delicious turkey burgers on whole wheat hamburger buns and some sweet potato fries on the side. It was the perfect meal.

As always, you could swap out ground turkey breast for ground beef.
