Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp chili powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
- 0.25 cup spicy mayo or preferred sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, diced jalapeño, minced garlic, diced red onion, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until thoroughly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a round patty about ¾-inch thick.
Brush the patties lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to achieve nice grill marks.
Flip the patties and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, cut side down, until golden and slightly crispy.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the spicy mayo or your preferred sauce on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Add a lettuce leaf, a grilled turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a crisp salad. Enjoy your spicy grilled turkey burgers!
