Southwest Turkey Burgers

This week is all about burgers! Turkey burgers, chicken burgers, beef and pork burgers! If you’re looking for some new and really good burgers for your next BBQ… look no more! I am posting this recipe again as it was one of my first blog posts I made and one of my favorites as well.  I can’t think of a better way to start burger week than with this recipe!

These are hands down the best turkey burgers EVER! This is my recipe that I have been making for a number of years now and we think they ROCK!  They are moist and FULL of flavor, you don’t usually get both of those things in a turkey burger, so go ahead give these a try!

Makes 4 burgers

INGREDIENTS
20 oz. ground turkey
Salt
Pepper
1 tsp. cumin
1/4 cup crushed tortilla chips or Panko crumbs
1/2 cup diced sweet onion
4 Tablespoons chopped cilantro
3/4 Tablespoon chipotle pepper (found in the seasoning’s aisle)
1 teaspoon garlic
1/2 cup all natural applesauce

4 Kaiser rolls or any burger bun you like

Chipotle Mayo
Mayonnaise
Chipotle seasoning
Cilantro
Salt
Pepper
Garlic
I do not measure any of it.  Start with the mayo and add whatever amount of each ingredient you like. Jim is not a huge fan of cilantro, so I do not add that to the mayo if he is home.  If you don’t want it too hot, be cautious with the chipotle seasoning.

For the Burger
Mix ALL ingredients, except for the buns, and form into four patties and grill. Grill buns if desired

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
Avocado
Tomato
Lettuce
Any Mexican style cheese

Enjoy,
