Description

Salsa adds tons of flavor and makes these turkey burgers rival any beef burger without the extra fat and calories.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup mild salsa
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil plus more for cooking the burgers
  • 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound (93 percent lean) ground turkey (I don’t recommend using the extra lean turkey)
  • 4 hamburger buns, halved horizontally (toasted, if desired)
  • Your favorite hamburger toppings such as salsa, lettuce, tomato, guacamole, red onions, pice de gallo, cheese, etc.

Instructions

  1. Make patties. Stir together salsa, shallots, cilantro, oil, hot sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add ground turkey and mix together until evenly combined. Using your hands, shape turkey mixture into four equal sized patties.
  2. Cook burgers. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add burgers and cook until underside is brown and nicely charred, 4-5 minutes. Turn burgers over and cook until second side is brown and burgers are cooked through, 4-5 minutes more.
  3. Serve. Serve burgers on buns with your favorite toppings.
