The burgers themselves are flavored with a number of ingredients including soy sauce, brown sugar, and green onions, transforming the rather bland poultry into anything but! Topped with the cabbage cucumber slaw and a squirt of Sriracha, these went straight to the top of my favorite turkey burgers, rivaling the reigning champion.
