Southwest Turkey Burgers

This recipe is amazing and I have played around with it many times to get it where I love it because turkey burgers can be boring. These are packed with flavor and setting up the toppings bar is a great way to have everyone customize them!

You’ll need:

• 1 lb of ground turkey
  
• 1/2 cup chopped onion,
  
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  
• 4 garlic cloves minced
  
• 1 small jalapeño pepper cleaned and minced
  
• 1 tsp cumin
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 1 tsp black pepper
  
• Canola oil

Directions:

1. In a bowl mix all the ingredients except the canola oil
2. Make your patties (I use a cast iron skillet but grilling them works great too)
3. Salt and pepper the patties and brush some canola oil on them
4. Pre heat the skillet until it is hot and add a couple tsp of the oil
5. Place the patties into the hot skillet and let them sit for a few minutes until they release easily and are nicely browned
6. Flip and cook the other side
7. Look for a temperature of 170 degrees
8. Serve on hamburger buns with a selection of toppings on the side

I like shredded cheddar cheese, sliced tomato, chopped cilantro, lime wedges for a squeeze, salsa, chopped jalapeño and slices of avocado.
