This is the cookout recipe that will have everyone talking. The secret is mixing a creamy, spreadable cheese into the turkey patties. It gives them a rich taste without overpowering the burger. —Nancee Melin, Tucson, Arizona

Very flavorful. I mixed an Italian seasoning with cream cheese for the garlic herb spread, and just sliced a Mango instead of Salsa. Still soooo good!

I have made this several times. My husband and I both like it. Rather than a hamburger bun I use a thinner type of bun.
