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.

MEXICAN TURKEY BURGERS

A moist, filling turkey burger with a twist. Serve traditionally on a hamburger roll, or open face on a corn tortilla.

Provided by KelBel

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground turkey breast
1 cup fat-free refried beans
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Mix ground turkey and refried beans until combined.

  • Grill, broil or fry for 5-6 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked.
  • Serve on corn tortilla with guacamole, cheddar cheese, and salsa.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: Use ground turkey with a fat content of at least 10% for juicier burgers.
  • Season the turkey well: Use a combination of spices and herbs to flavor the turkey, such as chili powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Use breadcrumbs or oats to bind the turkey: This will help to keep the burgers together and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Don't overmix the turkey: Overmixing can make the burgers tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings: Such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and guacamole.
