Description
Juicy turkey burgers seasoned with bold Southwest flavors, served with sweet grilled corn.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lime
- Optional: Diced jalapeno or hot sauce
- 4 ears of corn, husked
- Oil or butter for grilling corn
- Salt to taste
- Buns and toppings of your choice
Instructions
- Mix the ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, onion, garlic, spices, salt, pepper, and lime juice in a large bowl. Mix gently until combined.
- Shape the mixture into patties, about the size of your bun, making a small dent in the center of each patty.
- Cook the patties on a preheated grill or skillet over medium heat, ensuring they are browned and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
- Brush corn with oil or butter, sprinkle with salt, and grill until golden brown, turning occasionally. Finish with a squeeze of lime.
- Let the patties rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your choice of toppings and the grilled corn on the side.
Notes
For best results, do not use extra lean turkey. Can meal prep patties up to 24 hours in advance; cooked patties last 3-4 days in the fridge.
