TEX-MEX TURKEY BURGERS WITH CHIPOTLE MAYO



Tex-Mex Turkey Burgers with Chipotle Mayo image

Ground turkey has it rough in the reputation department. It's notoriously dry and flavorless, especially in burger form, and it's usually only preferred to beef when healthiness is a factor. But not for long! We can finally take back the bad rap of crumbly turkey burgers everywhere with these moist and juicy Tex-Mex-inspired patties, all thanks to a humble can of creamed corn. On the flavor front, we've got spices, herbs, veggies, cheese, and a chipotle mayo, so there's no chance this formerly blank canvas is going to be a bland burger.

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sauce from canned chipotles in adobo sauce
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray
4 slices Monterey Jack cheese

Top each burger with a slice of cheese.
  • Spread a portion of the chipotle mayo on the bottom half of each bun. Top the mayo with a burger, then add lettuce, tomato, avocado, and the top half of the bun and serve.

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 1/4 lbs 95% lean ground turkey or 1 1/4 lbs ground beef
1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat monterey jack cheese (or nonfat cheese) or 3/4 cup Mexican blend cheese (or nonfat cheese)

Steps:

  • Place the mushrooms, zucchini, onion, and red bell pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process until the vegetables are finely chopped.
  • Place the vegetables, ground meat, and taco seasoning mix in a medium-sized bowl and mix thoroughly.
  • Shape the mixture into six 4-inch patties.
  • Grill the burgers over medium coals or cook under a broiler for about 6 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 165 degrees (160 degrees for ground beef) and the meat is no longer pink inside.
  • (To retain moisture, avoid pressing down on the patties as they cook.).

Tips:

  • Use ground turkey breast for a leaner burger. Ground turkey thigh is also a good option, but it will be slightly fattier.
  • Add some vegetables to the burger mixture for extra nutrition and flavor. Shredded zucchini, carrots, or onions are all good choices.
  • Season the burger mixture well with your favorite herbs and spices. Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin are all good options.
  • Form the burger patties into 1-inch thick patties. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Do not overcook the burgers, or they will become dry.
  • Serve the burgers on your favorite bun with your favorite toppings.

With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Texas turkey burgers every time. So next time you're firing up the grill, give these turkey burgers a try. You won't be disappointed.
