Southwestern Turkey Burgers image

These turkey burgers get their kick and flavor from incorporating jalapeƱo peppers, Monterey Jack, breadcrumbs, and mayonnaise right into the patty. And the best part is they come together in just 25 minutes.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds ground dark meat turkey (93% lean)
1 jalapeno chile, minced (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
2 ounces grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for grates
4 hamburger buns, split horizontally
Desired toppings: Fresh Tomato Salsa, sliced avocado, sliced pickled jalapeno chiles

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, place turkey, jalapeno, cheese, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix very gently with a fork to combine, being careful not to overwork meat (which would make burgers dense).
  • Gently form meat into 4 equal-size patties, 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Press thumb in the center of each patty to make an indentation approximately 1/2-inch deep (this helps keep burgers flat during grilling).
  • Moisten a folded paper towel with oil; grasp with tongs and rub over grates. Season burgers with salt and pepper; grill until cooked throughout, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Serve on buns (toasted on grill, if you like), with desired toppings.
