Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup salsa
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 pound ground turkey
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
⅓ cup dry bread crumbs
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
6 tablespoons sour cream
2 cups shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a medium baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion, green pepper, and garlic 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, mix the salsa and 1/2 the corn. In a large bowl, mix the onion mixture with the turkey, taco seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of the salsa mixture. Divide into 6 patties, and press into the breadcrumbs to lightly coat on all sides. Arrange coated patties in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake the patties 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Drain any liquid from the dish, turn patties, and spread with the remaining salsa mixture. Continue baking 10 minutes, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave, about 30 seconds on High. Wrap the cooked turkey patties in the warmed tortillas with sour cream and lettuce. Sprinkle with remaining corn to serve.

CHEESY MEXICAN TURKEY BURGERS



Cheesy Mexican Turkey Burgers image

These are not spicy (feel free to add spice if you like yours that way!) but have a fresh, vibrant flavour that goes well with burger buns or with other sides such as Mexican rice.

Provided by Shuzbud

Categories     Poultry

Time 35m

Yield 4 burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tomatoes
1 lb ground turkey
4 ounces mexican cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander
aluminum foil
salsa, (optional)
hamburger bun, (optional)

Steps:

  • Start the barbecue or preheat the grill.
  • Remove the core and seeds from the tomato and finely dice the flesh.
  • In a bowl, add to the tomato: the turkey, mexican cheese, paprika and fresh coriander. Mix well.
  • Divide the mixture into four and shape into burgers. If you have time, cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to let the flavours blend.
  • Place a sheet of foil over the barbecue or grill, or use a baking sheet if preferred- because these burgers are made from a low fat meat, they can break up if not handled carefully, so the foil helps them to stay together. Handle and flip them with care.
  • Place the burgers on the barbecue or under a grill, on the foil or baking sheet.
  • Cook for 15 minutes, flipping regularly.
  • If using a barbecue, remove the foil at this point- after 15 minutes- so the burgers pick up the chargrilled flavour in the next 10 minutes.
  • Cook for a further 10 minutes (whether using a barbeque or a grill) or until completely cooked through.
  • Serve with salsa if desired, on burger buns, Mexican rice, or whatever takes your fancy!

Provided by Shuzbud

Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4 burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, very finely diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 red bell pepper, very finely diced
1 lb fresh ground turkey
2 tablespoons cream cheese
2 ounces fresh breadcrumbs
10 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped (or more if you love the flavour!)
1/2 cup hard cheddar cheese, finely grated (2oz)
salt and pepper, to taste
aluminum foil
4 burger rolls
4 lettuce leaves
tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Start the barbecue or preheat the grill.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the onion, garlic and red bell pepper for 2-3 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl put the ground turkey, cream cheese, breadcrumbs, fresh basil and cheddar cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the pepper and onions and mix well.

  • Place a sheet of foil over the barbecue or grill, or use a baking sheet if preferred- because these burgers are made from a low fat meat, they can break up if not handled carefully, so the foil helps them to stay together. Handle and flip them with care.
  • Place the burgers on the barbecue or under a grill, on the foil or baking sheet.
  • Cook for 15 minutes, flipping regularly.
  • If using a barbecue, remove the foil at this point- after 15 minutes- so the burgers pick up the chargrilled flavour in the next 10 minutes.
  • Cook for a further 10 minutes (whether using a barbeque or a grill) or until completely cooked through.
  • Prepare the rolls and serve the burgers with lettuce, tomato or your favourite toppings.

MEXICAN-INSPIRED TURKEY BURGERS
