News: Carl's Jr. / Hardee's - New Jalapeno Turkey Burger

Carl's Jr. and Hardee's are offering a little bit of heat this winter with the new Jalapeno Turkey Burger. Turkey burgers have become a bit of a thing for Carl's Jr. and Hardee's where they're offered as a lower calorie alternative to beef. Other fast food chains usually don't offer them.

The Jalapeno Turkey Burger features sliced jalapenos, Pepper Jack cheese, creamy Santa Fe Sauce, red onion, lettuce and tomato on a whole wheat bun. The price starts at $3.49 (may vary by location).

The Jalapeno Turkey Burger is almost identical to the regular menu Sante Fe Turkey Burger, which comes with a half-slice of a green chile instead of jalapenos. The Sante Fe Turkey Burger was introduced around this time last year, but is only available at Carl's Jr.

Both chains are offering a coupon for a free medium Coke Zero with the purchase of a Jalapeno Turkey Burger. You can find the Hardee's coupon here and the Carl's Jr. coupon here.
