Talkin' Turkey Burgers
Celebrating National Burger Day (August 27) with an abecdarian poem about turkey burgers

Always lean, never greasy on the grill
Better than beef when you want something light
Cranberry relish or chipotle mayo—your call
Dripping juices catch in the bun just right
Everyone gathers when these hit the plate
Fresh thyme, sage, and garlic folded in
Ground turkey mixed with onion and a pinch of heat
Healthy protein that still tastes like a treat
In a toasted brioche or a soft potato roll
Juicy center, seared crust, never dry or dull
Ketchup, mustard, or both—no one will judge
Lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion stacked high
Melted Swiss or American cheese if you choose
No heavy aftertaste, just clean satisfaction
On the backyard grill or a hot cast-iron skillet
Pepper, salt, and smoked paprika do the work
Quite the weeknight hero or cookout star
Relish that extra crunch from a quick pickle slice
Seasoned well, they never need much else
Turkey shines when you treat it with respect
Utterly simple, utterly good
Vegetables piled on until the bun can barely close
With avocado or a fried egg for extra richness
X-tra toppings welcome—go wild, no rules
Yum in every bite, from first to last
Zesty, savory, and ready whenever you are
