Another great chicken burger! ...well 3 meat variation burger, but still good. It's huge and filling too!
The turkey bacon is great since it's wider than regular pork bacon which is too thin and narrow, which made it so much easier for the wrapping part. I grilled these on my BBQ and so cooking time may varie (as long as you make sure that your instant read thermometer reads 165'F they'll turn out great!
