Sometimes my freezer reaches its capacity and I need to spend a week or so making recipes that use up food in there. As I was going through my freezer I can across some leftover chorizo form a previous recipe and was not sure how to use it. Then I came across a package of ground turkey that had found its way to the bottom of the freezer and should be used up sooner than later.
My husbands idea was make a burger with the turkey and while that sounded like a good and easy idea, it did not use up the chorizo. Then it hit me, what if I combine the ground turkey and chorizo to make a burger and that is how this burger came to be.
