    We at Turkey Burgers at least once a week. We often have very little time on our hands so we usually grill up some of the frozen variety. With this Turkey Burger recipe with Ranch Slaw, you will never go back to frozen patties.

    The beauty of this recipe is that you can make the burger patties ahead of time and freeze them until it's time to grill them up. Just make sure you freeze them in an airtight container or bag so they don't get freezer burnt.

    💭 Ingredient Substitution

    Feel free to use whatever kind of Hot Sauce you have on-hand. I always have some Frank's Hot Sauce in the refrigerator so that's what I use with making these Turkey Burger Patties.

    🌶 How to Handle Hot Peppers

    The capsaicin in hot peppers is what makes peppers hot. If you handle hot peppers gloveless, it’s a guarantee that you’re in for a nasty case of chili burn, both on your fingers and anywhere you rub. Like your face. Ouch!

    Even if you wear disposable gloves, be careful about what you touch. The gloves are going to protect your fingers, but touching any part of your body with the gloves after you’ve handled hot peppers can lead to severe chili burn. Resist the temptation to rub your eyes. Wait until you’ve removed your gloves and washed your hands thoroughly with soap.

    🥓 How to Make Bacon

    If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I've put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon - 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.

    And don't throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.
