While a classic cheeseburger is always delightful, sometimes it's fun to mix things up with new sauces and/or toppings. So today I'm showing you how to make a mouth-watering Barbecue Turkey Burger. Even when using extra lean ground turkey meat, this burger is moist, flavorful and simply delicious.
I'll be serving the burger with a side of Sweet Pepper Potatoes. The savory potato bites and the sweet peppers are a great complement to the sweet and savory burger.

The leftovers
Since it is close to impossible to buy just two hamburger buns, you will most likely have about six buns leftover. This drives me crazy, because I rarely end up using the remaining buns, and then they end up in garbage at the end of the week. I'm honestly surprised that I haven't pulled a George Banks and ripped open a pack in the grocery store, so that I could remove all of the buns that I don't need.
Since such behavior is borderline inappropriate, I decided to accept the leftover buns, and challenge myself to see how many unique recipes I could create using hamburger buns. The end result was a week of really great hamburger bun inspired recipes. I'll be sharing these recipes with you next week during "Bun Week." Stay tuned!!
