Serves : 4

Comments: This is a modified version of a recipe from Martha Stewart's "Everyday Food".

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 2 tablespoons {Roasted Tomatillo Chipotle Salsa}
  • 2 ounces grated cheddar or monterey jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs with Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • guacamole or more {Roasted Tomatillo Chipotle Salsa} for topping

Instructions:

Place turkey, salsa, cheese, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix gently with a fork to combine.

Gently form 4 equal-size patties, about 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Press thumb in the center of each patty to make an indentation approximately 1/2-inch deep. (This helps to keep the burgers flat during grilling.)

Heat grill to medium high. Oil grates. Season burgers with additional salt and pepper. Grill until cooked throughout, about 5 to 8 minutes per side. Serve on buns with desired toppings.
