Southwest Burger

This recipe can be made by substituting lean ground turkey or veggie burger patty. Cook veggie patty according to package instructions and omit cilantro and scallions. I found this in Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping.
