Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 0.5 cup bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 1 medium lime
- 4 pieces hamburger buns
Instructions
Start by preparing the salsa. Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño into small pieces and add them to a medium bowl.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa ingredients. Season with a pinch of salt and mix well. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the turkey mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Cook the turkey patties for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are cooked through.
While the patties cook, lightly toast the hamburger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked turkey burger on the bottom half of each bun. Top each with a generous spoonful of the fresh salsa.
Add the top bun and serve immediately. Pair with a side of salad, sweet potato fries, or your favorite burger sides!
