Jalapeno Turkey Burgers with Cheddar & Guacamole
- 1- 1/2 pound Ground Turkey
- 1 whole Egg
- 1/2 cups Plain Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
- 1/4 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 13 cups Cilantro, Chopped
- 1/4 cups Green Onions, Finely Sliced
- 1 whole Jalapeno, Stem Removed, De-seeded, And Finely Minced
- Olive Oil, For Pan
- Flour For Dusting Patties
- 6 slices Cheddar Cheese
- 2 whole Avocados, Peeled And Pitted
- 1/4 cups Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 whole Lime, Juiced
- Salt To Taste
- 6 Burger Buns (I Used Whole Wheat)
- 6 Tomato Slices
- 6 leaves Lettuce
- Ketchup And Mustard, As Desired
- For the burgers: Into a large mixing bowl, add the turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cilantro, green onions, and jalapeno.
- Mix together until all the ingredients are well combined (I use my hands for this).
- Place a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and swirl the pan with olive oil.
- Shape the mixture into 5-6 patties.
- Dust both sides of each patty lightly with flour.
- Place patties into the hot cast iron pan.
- Turn down heat to medium and cook until browned on the first side, then flip, and cook again until browned on the other side and cooked completely through (burger should be firm to the touch and bounce back a bit).
- Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your burgers.
- I cooked mine 5-6 minutes per side.
- Add the cheddar cheese on top of each burger in the last 1-2 minutes of cooking and cover the pan to melt the cheese.
- In the meantime, add your avocados to a bowl with the Greek yogurt, lime juice, and salt.
- Mash the avocados and stir until well combined.
- Set aside.
- To assemble burgers: Place the burgers on the bottom bun.
- Spread a generous amount of the guacamole onto the top bun.
- Add lettuce, and tomato, and condiments of your choice.
- Serve.
