Mexican Turkey Burger
Description
An easy weeknight meal and a nice change from beef burgers, these tasty Mexican-inspired turkey burgers have a slightly spicy bite which is tamed by a creamy avocado topping.
Ingredients
•
1 1/3 pounds ground turkey breast
•
3/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
•
1/2 green poblano pepper, diced
•
1 tablespoon seasoned salt (such as Santa Maria-style)
•
1 tablespoon granulated onion
•
4 hamburger buns, split
•
2 avocados, mashed
Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2
Mix together ground turkey, shredded cheese, poblano pepper, seasoned salt, and granulated onion in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Divide mixture into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and press into a burger shape.
3
Place burgers on the preheated grill and cook, flipping once halfway through, until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve on hamburger buns topped with mashed avocado.
