Asian Turkey Burgers with Lime Mayo

I think that the best part of being in a community of food bloggers is that there is always something mouthwatering waiting to take a spot on your next meal plan.

Wyoming has been having really odd winter weather lately.  It has been in the mid-50s but the wind has been gusting 30-40 mph all the time.  The other day, we caught a mid-afternoon break in the wind and decided to get these on the grill.  They were great for a windless Wyoming day.

I really loved these burgers.  They didn't need cheese or any other additional toppings.  They were very flavorful, and very filling.  I didn't add the sesame seeds to the burger, but we didn't miss them at all.  Jacob had his with Sriracha, but I had mine with just regular lime mayo.  It was a perfect flavor combination with the burger ingredients.
