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!

SPICY SOUTHWESTERN TURKEY BURGERS WITH CHILI LIME MAYONNAISE image

Yield 8 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 21

Turkey Burgers
Olive Oil (for cooking burgers)
1 pound ground turkey
2 egg whites
1/4 bead crumbs
2 tbsp minced garlic (if using jarred galic, use about 1/2 tbsp juice as well)
1 serrano pepper, minced
1/4 c red onion, finely chopped
1/8 c green onion, finely chopped
1/2 8 oz can black beans
1/2 8 oz can corn
juice of 1/2 lime
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Chili Lime Mayonnaise
1/2 cup mayonnaisse
juice of 1 lime
2 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp garlic (minced)
AND/OR
1/2 tsp garlic juice
1 tsp paprika

Steps:

Combine all ingredients (except olive oil) in a bowl. Mix with hands for best results and pat out into patties. Heat oil in frying pan. Add burger patties to pan. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes per side on medium-high to high heat until meat is completely cooked. Burgers will probably blacken a bit on the outside. For the chili lime mayonnaise, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Chill for at least 30 minutes, if desired. Burgers can be eaten on a bun or by themselves, dipped in mayonnaise.
