Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
- 2 medium fresh jalapeños, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
- 4 burger buns
- Your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, salsa, guacamole)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped jalapeños, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until combined.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties about ¾ inch thick. Press your thumb into the center to prevent puffing.
- Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat; lightly oil the surface. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
- Meanwhile, toast the burger buns until golden brown.
- Assemble by placing cooked patties on buns and adding desired toppings.
