Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (lean)
- 4 ounces Canned green chilies (diced)
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato (sliced)
- 1 medium Avocado (sliced, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, diced green chilies (drained of excess liquid), shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the burgers tough.
Step 3
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 4
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Cook the turkey patties for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by placing each turkey patty on the bottom half of a bun. Top with lettuce, sliced tomato, and avocado slices if using. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a side salad.
