Servings:

Recommended wine: Malbec, Merlot, Zinfandel

Malbec, Merlot, and Zinfandel are my top picks 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 Yacochuya San Pedro De Yacochuya Malbec with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
