Dine on a Dime: Fiesta Turkey Burgers

Give your Memorial Day BBQ a fresh twist with these fantastic fiesta turkey burgers.

Note: Traditional ground turkey will work if you cannot find white and dark meat ground turkey. Also, add green chile for maximum flavor effect. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground white meat turkey
  • 1 lb ground dark meat turkey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 6 hamburger buns
  • 1 red onion, sliced thinly
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
  • ½ cup medium or hot salsa

Preparation:

In a medium-sized bowl, combine white meat turkey, dark meat turkey, lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano and garlic powder.

Divide the meat into six equal portions and form into patties.

Heat up the grill to 375° F and grill burgers 5-7 minutes a side.

When you remove the burgers from the grill, place the buns on the grill, cut-side down. They will toast and pick up awesome flavor.

Assemble burgers: place a few slices of red onion on the bottom bun. Top with turkey burger and add a few slices of avocado plus a dollop of salsa before closing with the top bun.

Yields: 6 servings
