Spicy Grilled Burgers with Jalapeno Mayo

Grilled burgers are my favorite summer grilled food hands down. It doesn’t have to be beef but today I’m glad it is. These spicy grilled burgers with jalapeño mayo are taking burgers to that next level. Moove over ketchup and mustard!! Spicy jalapeño mayo is going to make your grilled burger the best burger you’ve had this year.

Oh, and you won’t want to limit using this spicy jalapeño mayo to just burgers. You will be spreading, spooning, and dolloping this sauce on everything possible! I know I have been.

With Memorial Day right around the corner, I’m thinking these spicy grilled burgers would be fantastic! Some other options to go with these include:

I’m pretty sure nearly everyone is going to be enjoying some much needed outdoor time this weekend. Hopefully you have some time to sit on your patio, relax and enjoy life while remembering all of those who have served or are currently serving our country. We thank you!

I’m hoping to make a little visit to our parent’s cabin for some much anticipated walks by the river and relaxation on the patio. Fingers crossed that it will happen! I wish you all a happy and safe Memorial Weekend. I wonder how much it will rain this year?!!!

Gotta give these burgers a go this weekend or today or tomorrow. Whatever works for you! 🙂 Happy Wednesday friends!

Welcome to 3 Scoops of Sugar! I am Megan, and this is my food blog. I take everyday recipes and modify them to increase flavor and nutrition. I hope you enjoy reading along the way. Thanks for stopping by! So, the time has come to brush off all of the spider webs from your grills and smokers! Ladies and gents, summer has arrived! On this memorial day, I would like to pause and thank all of the men and women that have served this country and sacrificed so that we may live in the country we live in today. You are all my heroes.

Now, you may be thinking why turkey burgers on memorial day? The turkey burger has always been quite inferior to the good ‘ol classic American hamburger. However, this burger sure puts up a good fight! It is juicy, spicy, and the jalapeno mayo is just amazing! Side note: When I eat hamburgers, ketchup is a must, but with these turkey burgers this jalapeno mayo is the perfect accompaniment!!
