Recommended wine: Merlot, Malbec, Zinfandel

Merlot, Malbec, and Zinfandel are great choices for Turkey Burgers. Merlot will be perfectly adequate for a classic burger with standard toppings. Bolder toppings call for bolder wines, such as a malbec or peppery zinfandel. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Merlot with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.

Chateau Ste. Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Merlot

The Cold Creek Merlot showcases inviting aromas of pomegranate, raspberry and Rainier cherry fruit notes with a slight hint of caraway. Flavors of black cherry and plum with lively, substantial tannins make this a big palate-pleasing wine.
