Southwestern Turkey Burgers image

These turkey burgers get their kick and flavor from incorporating jalapeño peppers, Monterey Jack, breadcrumbs, and mayonnaise right into the patty. And the best part is they come together in just 25 minutes.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds ground dark meat turkey (93% lean)
1 jalapeno chile, minced (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired)
2 ounces grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for grates
4 hamburger buns, split horizontally
Desired toppings: Fresh Tomato Salsa, sliced avocado, sliced pickled jalapeno chiles

Steps:

  • Heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, place turkey, jalapeno, cheese, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix very gently with a fork to combine, being careful not to overwork meat (which would make burgers dense).
  • Gently form meat into 4 equal-size patties, 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Press thumb in the center of each patty to make an indentation approximately 1/2-inch deep (this helps keep burgers flat during grilling).
  • Moisten a folded paper towel with oil; grasp with tongs and rub over grates. Season burgers with salt and pepper; grill until cooked throughout, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Serve on buns (toasted on grill, if you like), with desired toppings.

These burgers were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add some more moisture next time, maybe some grated zucchini or applesauce.

These burgers were easy to make and very flavorful. I used ground turkey and added some extra spices to give them a little more kick. They were a hit with my family and I will definitely be making them again.

I'm not a huge fan of turkey burgers, but these were really good. The flavors were well-balanced and the burgers were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make these again.

These turkey burgers were amazing! I made them for my family last night and they were a hit. The flavors were perfect and the burgers were so juicy. I will definitely be making these again.
