The weather here today is gorgeous, high 70’s, sunny, breezy, perfect for grilling! I love to transform plain old turkey burgers, and we’re big southwest/spicy food fans, so this idea came naturally to me. Adding the salsa to these burgers really kept them moist and flavorful. I served these with grilled corn with cilantro butter and a tossed side salad.
Spicy Southwest Turkey Burgers
Burgers:
½ lb. 99% fat free ground turkey
¼ c. prepared salsa
1 chipotle in adobo, minced
½ tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. cumin
Salt and pepper
Toppings:
2 whole wheat buns
2 slices pepper jack cheese
½ lb. 99% fat free ground turkey
¼ c. prepared salsa

½ tsp. chili powder
½ tsp. cumin
Salt and pepper
Toppings:
2 whole wheat buns
2 slices pepper jack cheese
salsa
1 green bell pepper, sliced
½ red onion, sliced
Get grill ready.
In a small skillet, sauté onion and peppers for 10 minutes, or until softened, season with salt and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, gently toss together all burger ingredients. Form into 2 patties.
Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, until cooked completely through.
Once flipped, top with some of the pepper and onion mixture, then top with cheese. Close the grill to melt the cheese.
Serve on a bun with extra salsa.
