SPICY SOUTHWESTERN TURKEY BURGERS
WARNING: These are SPICY! But, the flavor is fantastic. If you are looking for something different....this is it! Garnish these as you would any other burger...lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, mustard or ketchup. We used a spicy chipotle pepper cheese as well - these were fantastic. The chipotle peppers and the cumin give these a really smoky flavor.

SPICY SOUTHWESTERN TURKEY BURGERS WITH CHILI LIME MAYONNAISE
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.

SOUTHWEST TURKEY BURGERS
Most of the turkey burgers that I have had were overcooked and flavorless. This recipe was inspired by some friends of ours that put a Southwest spin on the burger. With a few tweaks these Southwest turkey burgers have become a staple recipe in our house. The patty is flavorful and plays well with some creamy guacamole and spicy salsa.

Steps:
- Combine turkey, eggs, onion, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons oil, jalapenos, Worcestershire, mustard, paprika, chili powder, and cumin in a bowl. Form into 8 patties. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a saute pan over medium to medium-high heat. Place patties in the hot pan and cover partially to help retain moisture, but not so much that the patties braise (boil). Cook until browned and halfway cooked through, about 4 minutes. Continue to cook until no longer pink and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 3 minutes more.
- Serve patties on toasted buns with guacamole and salsa.

SPICY SOUTHWEST TURKEY BURGERS WITH GARLIC AIOLI
This is a very zesty, garlicky, and spicy turkey burger that even my husband who normally does not like turkey burgers, well he raves about them. I like to put these on toasted buns and top the burger with pepper jack cheese. To kick up the spiciness to the next level add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne. If you can find it, I highly recommend using smoked salt. It adds an awesome smoky flavor to these, I always use it.
