I will leave that up to you to decide whether turkey works for you and your family. It's a really great alternative during that diet time for a healthier less fat meal.
I had never been a big fan of turkey burgers, at least not the ones premade. They seem tasteless. This one was to my surprised really a delicious alternative to beef. The hot sauce in here really kicks up the flavors.
I really enjoyed it. Everyone in the family raved about the flavor. I had mine plain no bun with all the dressings. Bleu cheese is a favorite of mine.
I had to also have ranch for the family, they liked that better than topping it with any other condiments.
Dress it up the way you like. My husband for one doesn't like raw tomato on his, so he has lettuce and mayo. My youngest son likes the bleu cheese and my oldest is a mustard and ketchup lover.
