Chili Cheeseburger

I have been making a lot of soups lately and felt it was time for a change. A burger sounded really good and this burger was the perfect one to make during the winter time.

A flavorful turkey burger is topped with a quick and easy to make chili. Some cheese is added, cause what's chili without some cheese on top and then some pickled jalapeños for a little bit of spiciness. The pickled jalapeños are optional, for those of you who do not like things spicy, but they do add good flavor to this burger and I suggest adding them.
