Made this using ground turkey and turkey andouille sausage. The sauce was fairly thin and made a very messy and satisfying burger topping. We topped our burgers with shredded parmesan. A thin brushing of olive oil over the raw, formed burgers will keep them from sticking to the pan which can be a problem with low fat meats.
