turkeyburgers

Lean gobbler sandwiches

Turkeyburgers are hamburger-style patties made from ground turkey rather than beef.

The substitution appeals to those seeking leaner meat or avoiding red meat: We're grilling turkeyburgers tonight.

The word follows the pattern of other burger variants—veggie burger, salmon burger—where the first element names what replaces the beef.
