Summer! Summer means grilling, which means a variety of meat, which inevitably means some type of burger at some point! So here's my take on a delicious southwestern turkey burger (YUM!).
Mix about 1.25lbs of ground turkey with 1/3cup canned, diced green chili (about 3/4 of the large can of chilies). Add about a tbsp garlic powder, about a tbsp chili powder, 1/4tsp freshly ground black pepper and about 1tsp salt... Mix (but don't over-mix).
Patty in to 4-5 burgers, depending on how big you want them to be (remember to indent the middle, as burgers will bulge in the middle as they cook!). I made mine into 4 burgers which I felt were about perfect. Now head out to your grill. I would have, except as my husband went out to the grill, he realized our grill didn't work AND we were out of propane... so I used my electric griddle inside. Still good, but I re-made these burgers later and actually grilled them and I have to admit, a real grill makes them about a thousand times more delicious. ;-) Add a piece of swiss cheese at the end of the cooking to melt down...
Alright, so for the other components of the burger: caramelized onion! I personally don't think any burger is complete without some form of onion, but for these, it's just necessary! And, for the 'spread.' Mix about 1/2cup light sour cream, 1 avocado and the rest of the green chilis together with a little salt and pepper to taste. Load this onto your bun, place on the burger, top with the onions, cap it with the other bun half and dig in!
