Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 large poblano pepper
- 0.5 cup dill pickles
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 burger buns
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Roast the poblano pepper directly over the flame (or on the grill) until its skin is blistered and charred, about 5-7 minutes. Place it in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to let it steam for 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and finely chop the poblano.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped poblano pepper, diced dill pickles, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to make the relish and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until just combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly larger than the size of your burger buns.
Brush each turkey patty lightly with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
During the last minute of grilling, place a slice of Monterey Jack cheese on each patty and allow it to melt slightly.
Toast the burger buns on the grill until lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a leaf of lettuce, followed by a grilled turkey patty with melted cheese.
Top the patty with a generous spoonful of the poblano pickle relish. Place the top bun over everything to finish the burger.
Serve the burgers hot and enjoy!
