Dressed-Up Turkey Burgers

Smashburger's Classic Turkey Burger Comes in Three New Varieties

As we near the Thanksgiving season, Snashburger has brought back its Classic Turkey Burger and created three new versions of the sandwich for customers to try.

Smashburger's Classic Turkey Burger is a fan-favorite item that consists of a flavorful turkey patty topped with American cheese, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, pickles, and Smash Sauce. For a more dressed up version of the burger, fans can choose from three different takes on the turkey patty. The first is the Bacon Classic Turkey Burger, which features the same ingredients as the original, but with bacon. There's also a Avocado Turkey Club Burger made with avocado and ranch dressing, as well as a Truffle Mushroom Swiss Turkey Burger featuring truffle mayo and sautéed crimini mushrooms. Fans can also go even bigger by adding a second turkey patty.
