Banh Mi Turkey Burger

While at home one day, I was watching Guy’s Grocery Games and their challenge was to make a burger. Somebody chose to do a Banh Mi Turkey Burger and it looked delicious and I craved one ever since. This was AWESOME, it is now one of my favorite burger recipes! I served it with veggie chips on the side to make it an easy meal.
