Bonus turkey burger nutrition facts: Turkey is a great, low-fat protein source and is rich in vitamin B6, ideal for your balanced healthy diet. Adding a grated carrot kicks up the nutrients by adding beta carotene and fiber. Be sure to buy ground turkey breast, without skin, for the leanest burger. The chipotle chilies in adobo can be found in the Mexican food sections of most supermarkets.
