Spicy Turkey Burgers
These were delicious!!!
1 Pound of lean ground Turkey
1 Pablano pepper, chopped
1 Medium shallot diced
1 Clove of garlic minced
4 Slices of your favorite white cheese
4 Hamburger buns (get creative, find out which ones you like the best)
1 Teaspoon of ground cumin
1 Teaspoon of smoked paprika
1 Teaspoon of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Put ground Turkey into a bowl and combine all the other ingredients. Mix ingredients gently, over mixing will cause the burger to fall apart. Keep the burgers cold as well, the colder they are the more you have time to shape them. I usually toss the ingredients together then let them hang out in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes let them firm a bit. Pull them out and form them gently into patties, don't pack them down, they just need a bit of forming, put a little finger print in the middle so they don't shrink. Turkey generally does not shrink, but I do it anyway. In a large frying pan on medium high heat cook for 7 minutes each side, after the first flip, add cheese. I use a white cheese, it is a healthier option and melts better. I like Pepper Jack, Montery Jack...or Mozzarella. This is great paired with a pasta salad or a regular salad. Lisa made a simple salad with Romaine , corn, tomato from our garden and avocado she topped it with an little bit of ranch, cut with 1 tablespoon of olive oil....Light and healthy, good meal for the start of a long week of work!
