Savory Mexican Turkey Burger Recipe: A Flavorful Twist on a Classic Favorite

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/3 pounds of lean ground turkey
• 3/4 cup of a flavorful blend of Mexican cheeses
• 1/2 of a fresh green poblano pepper, finely diced
• A generous tablespoon of well-balanced seasoned salt, like the Santa Maria-style
• Another tablespoon of aromatic granulated onion
• 4 soft hamburger buns, sliced in half
• 2 ripe and creamy avocados, mashed

Step 1

Before starting, make sure to preheat your outdoor grill to a nice medium-high heat and give the grate a light coating of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, shredded cheese, flavorful poblano pepper, seasoned salt, and aromatic granulated onion. Mix everything together thoroughly until well blended. Then, divide the mixture into four equal portions. Take each portion and shape it into a ball, then gently flatten it into a delicious burger patty.

Step 3

Once the grill is ready, place your homemade burger patties on it. Remember to flip them over halfway through the cooking process. Cook the burgers until they are cooked through and no longer pink in the middle, which should take around 15 minutes. To be absolutely sure they are done, use an instant-read thermometer and ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 4

To serve, assemble your tasty burgers on hamburger buns and add a generous dollop of creamy mashed avocado on top. Enjoy your flavorful creation!
