Anyone who does not like turkey burgers has never had one. That’s just my two cents. Either that or maybe you’re a vegetarian. For carnivores, however, there’s no need to feel like you’re trading on taste by choosing to indulge in a lower fat turkey burger instead of beef. Burgers are classically American fare, so this New Yawker admits to being a tad choosy when it comes to finding a good burger overseas. Visiting Berlin? Don’t even bother.
When in London, luckily, there are several options to satiate your turkey burger cravings. Yes you’ve been having a fabulous time having an audience with the queen, trying desperately to spot Will and Kate and enjoying the fab nightlife but you have to eat, right?
These joints have the best turkey burgers to accompany your chips, and by chips I mean fries.
