Southwest Turkey Burgers

Directions

Ingredients :

2 pounds ground turkey

2 large eggs

beaten

¼ cup diced yellow onion

¼ cup plain dry bread crumbs

4 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil

divided

3 tablespoons seeded and diced fresh jalapeno peppers

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

8 each whole wheat hamburger buns

toasted

½ cup guacamole

½ cup salsa

Methods :

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.
