Haven't cooked with bulgur before? Bulgur wheat is the main ingredient in tabbouleh salad, and it makes a healthy, high-fiber addition to salads, soups, meat loaves, and this burger recipe. It adds a hearty depth of flavor and lends additional structure to the turkey patties. Along with the aromatic spices and minty-yogurt sauce, these delicious open-face burgers will soon become a new family favorite and find a place on your weeknight dinner rotation.
