Most of the turkey burgers that I have had were overcooked and flavorless. This recipe was inspired by some friends of ours that put a Southwest spin on the burger. With a few tweaks these Southwest turkey burgers have become a staple recipe in our house. The patty is flavorful and plays well with some creamy guacamole and spicy salsa.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground turkey
2 large eggs , beaten
0.25 cups diced yellow onion
0.25 cups plain dry bread crumbs
4 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil , divided
3 tablespoons seeded and diced fresh jalapeno peppers
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
8 whole wheat hamburger buns , toasted
0.5 cups guacamole
0.5 cups salsa

Instructions

1

Combine turkey, eggs, onion, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons oil, jalapenos, Worcestershire, mustard, paprika, chili powder, and cumin in a bowl. Form into 8 patties. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
2

Heat remaining olive oil in a saute pan over medium to medium-high heat. Place patties in the hot pan and cover partially to help retain moisture, but not so much that the patties braise (boil). Cook until browned and halfway cooked through, about 4 minutes. Continue to cook until no longer pink and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 3 minutes more.
3

Serve patties on toasted buns with guacamole and salsa.
