(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
1 small onion, chopped
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 lb. andouille sausage, finely chopped
1 tsp. Creole seasoning
3/4 tsp. garlic powder, divided
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 lb. ground turkey
1 Italian turkey sausage link (4 oz.), casing removed
4 slices cheddar cheese
1/2 c. Miracle Whip
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 Tbsp. hot pepper sauce
2 tsp. sweet pickle relish
1 tsp. capers, drained
4 kaiser rolls, split
1 Tbsp. butter

Directions:
In a large skillet, saute onion in oil until tender.  Add andouille sausage; cook 1 minute longer.  Transfer to a large bowl.  Stir in creole seasoning, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Crumble turkey and turkey sausage over mixture and mix well.  Shape into 4 patties.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook burgers for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165 degrees and juices run clear.  Top with cheese; cover and cook for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

For remoulade, in a small bowl, combine Miracle Whip, lemon juice, pepper sauce, relish and capers.  Spread rolls with butter and sprinkle with remaining garlic powder.  Broil 4 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned.  Serve burgers on rolls with remoulade.

Note~ If you can't find creole seasoning you can use: 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1/4 tsp. paprika, a pinch of dried thyme, a pinch of ground cumin and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
