SOUTHWEST TURKEY BURGER

This recipe puts a spin on the regular turkey burger. Trying to eat healthy can get pretty bland, but this turkey burger surprised me! It was very easy to make and I had all the ingredients on hand. It's perfect for the cook who doesn't want to put in much effort, but wants to please the crowd that's eating! You can also kick up the spice to whatever level you can handle.

Time 17m

Yield 4 hamburgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb lean ground turkey
1/2 cup salsa
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1 teaspoon basil

Steps:

  • Start by crumbling the raw turkey meat in a large bowl. Pour in the salsa and the rest of the spices. Mix all ingredients in well with the meat. (You may add extra or less of a particular seasoning if you'd like)
  • Form 4 patties with the meat mixture. Try not to make them too tightly packed, because when they cook they puff up a little and get pretty thick.
  • Spray a large skillet with olive oil cooking spray and put it on medium heat. Cook the four burgers for about 6 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked all the way through. (you may also grill the burgers).
  • Put the burger on a bun, add cheese and whatever other toppings you would like.
  • I mixed light mayo and salsa together to make a creamy sauce to spread on top of my burger. You could also sub the light mayo for light sour cream.
  • ENjOY!

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ pounds ground turkey
1 Tablespoon Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub (recipe in notes)
1 Tablespoon Hey Grilll Hey Fiesta Rub (recipe in notes)
1 Tablespoon chipotle in adobo (can liquid)
½ Tablespoon lime juice
½ cup crushed chicarrons or breadcrumbs
¼ cup Mexican blend cheese (shredded)
¼ cup black beans (strained)
¼ cup fire roased tomatoes (strained and diced)
¼ cup roasted corn
6 large tortillas (burrito sized)
12 small corn tostadas
1 cup Mexican blend cheese (shredded)
½ cup nacho cheese sauce
¼ cup sour cream
1 Tablespoon chipotle in adobo (can liquid)
½ teaspoon lime zest
1 teaspoon Hey Grill Hey Sweet Rub (recipe in notes)
1 teaspoon Hey Grill Hey Fiesta Rub (recipe in notes)

Steps:

  • Preheat. Heat your grill to medium-high heat (around 450 degrees F).
  • Make the patties. In a large bowl, mix all the patty ingredients until well incorporated, then divide into 6 patties. Be sure to press them to an even thickness of about 1 to 1¼ inch thick all the way through for even cooking and consistency.
  • Grill. Grill the patties for 4-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F.
  • Assemble. Heat a well-greased cast iron skillet or plancha on the grill while you assemble the crunchwrap. Start by placing the large burrito on your workspace. Sprinkle with a handful of shredded Mexican blend cheese. Top with a tostada. Spoon 1 Tablespoon of cheese dip in the center of each tostada, followed by a grilled turkey burger patty.
  • Finish assembling. Top each patty with a spoonful of nacho cheese dip, a second tostada, and a healthy sprinkle of more shredded cheese.
  • Fold. Make sure your skillet is nice and hot because once you fold, you need to fry the cheese side shut otherwise they will unfold. To fold, pick a starting point and form a crease to bring the tortilla to the center of the tostada, continue folding the burrito down and around in this fashion, if it doesn't come all the way to the middle, don't worry, it will be fried shut by the cheese.
  • Cook closed. Quickly and carefully place the crunchwrap cheese side down on the skillet and cook for 30-45 seconds to get crispy and sealed shut. Next, flip the crunchwrap over and cook the bottom for another 30-45 seconds.
  • Make dipping sauce. Make the dipping sauce by stirring all ingredients together in a medium bowl.
  • Serve. Serve the hot turkey burger crunchwraps with the dipping sauce. Enjoy!
