Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (lean)
- 4 ounces Canned green chilies (diced)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
- 1 medium Avocado (sliced, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, diced green chilies (drained of excess liquid), shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the turkey patties for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing each turkey patty on the bottom half of a bun. Top with lettuce, sliced tomato, and avocado slices if using. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a side salad.
