Turkey Burgers with Jalapeno Cheese Sauce Recipe

Photo by: Taste of Home

This is a lighter version of a tasty burger that people enjoyed at a place I once worked. I substituted the beef with turkey and used low-fat cheese, but the results are tastier than the original crowd-pleaser. —Vicki Schurk of Hamden, Connecticut
