Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground turkey
⅓ cup red onion, minced
1 jalapeño pepper, minced
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 ½ teaspoons cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for cooking
sesame seed bun
shredded lettuce
sliced tomato
pepper jack cheese
avocado
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons canned chilies in adobo
½ lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Place turkey, onion, jalapeño, and spices together in a large bowl and mix together until all the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Lightly wet your hands and use them to shape 4 circular patties about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.
  • Heat up about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Cook burgers for 2 minutes on the first side, then flip, lower heat to low, and cook them for an additional 5-6 minutes. Top with pepper jack cheese during the last minute.
  • NOTE: The turkey burgers must be cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check each patty for an internal temperature of at least 165˚F (75˚C) before removing from pan.
  • Assemble the burgers as desired with bun, chipotle mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and preferred condiments.
  • Enjoy!
