Reverse-marinated turkey burgers
These burgers are scrumptious on a fresh crusty bun with crisp toppings, a lettuce wrap, or even over rice or a baked potato! They’re light, zesty and perfect for enjoying on the deck on a hot summer evening. A reverse marinade is exactly what it sounds like - it’s a marinade that you place the meat into after the cooking process. The purpose of a reverse marinade is to lock even more flavour and juiciness into whatever is placed in it!
