About

One thing nice about doing burgers this way is that you can make them any size you want. My son Giuliano get a HUGE beef Baja burger, while Marina and I choose small turkey Baja burgers. Yes I do make both turkey and beef Baja Burgers at the same time. I just use less of each ground meat and have found it really doesn't take much more time to mix two batches and EVERYONE is happy!
