Like your second line says, a turkey burger may not be a hamburger, but it still is a burger. It's still not "officially" a hamburger, just like a veggie burger isn't, nor buffalo burgers.
Why? The main meat used in a hamburger is ground beef.
A hot dog is usually similar to that of a frankfurter, and it can either contain beef, pork, or both. If it were not sausage specific, then blood sausages, raw sausages, and even tofu weiners would be fair game, but they are not.
Also, I was/am aware that burger meat comes from a cow, but that's what they are called. Nowhere can it be traced that hamburgers originally contained pig meat.
