Description
Juicy turkey burgers infused with Southwest spices, topped with fresh avocado and tomato for a satisfying meal that’s lighter than beef.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Burger buns
- Lettuce, tomato, and avocado for topping
Instructions
- Mix the burger base by adding ground turkey, breadcrumbs, onion, bell pepper, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
- Form the patties by dividing the mixture into 4 equal portions and shaping them about 3/4-inch thick with a dimple in the center.
- Preheat the cooking surface to medium-high heat, lightly oiling as needed.
- Cook the patties for 5–7 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Toast the buns cut-side down for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
- Assemble the burgers with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and any preferred toppings. Serve immediately.
