Jalapeno Turkey Burgers have a little kick of spice and everything nice. They're juicy, cheesy, and extra scrumptious, ready in 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 jalapeno peppers seeded and finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
- 2 tablespoon light beer or water
- 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce I used Frank’s Red Hot Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 pound extra-lean ground turkey
- 4 slices 2% pepper Jack cheese
- 4 Sandwich Thins or rolls
- 4 tablespoons salsa
Instructions
- In a small skillet over medium heat, add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic and chopped jalapeno. Cook jalapeno and garlic until soft. Remove from skillet and transfer to bowl.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked jalapeno, garlic, parsley, beer, hot sauce, salt, pepper and cayenne.
- Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Divide mixture into 4 equal amounts. Shape into 4 patties.
- If grilling indoors, prepare grill according to manufacturers instructions. I just put my burgers on the grill for 3-5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear.Top with cheese; grill 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve on rolls with salsa. You can add sour cream and lettuce if you like.
