Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, sriracha, and chopped cilantro.
Step 2
Using clean hands, gently mix the ingredients until well combined. Avoid overmixing as it 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
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (73.9°C) and the burgers are browned and cooked through.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly, if desired.
Step 7
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and a few slices of red onion.
Step 8
Top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy turkey burgers!
