This Turkey Burger Recipe combines lean ground turkey with zesty Mexican chorizo for a juicy, savory twist. Topped with pepper Jack cheese, creamy mayo, and fresh spring mix, this burger brings a perfect balance of spice and richness in every bite.
Ingredients for this Turkey Burger Recipe:
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 4 links Mexican chorizo sausage (casings removed)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon chipotle chile flakes
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons buttery spread
- 4 slices pepper Jack cheese
- 4 hamburger buns
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 cups spring mix lettuce
- 1 lime, juiced
Directions:
- Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chorizo, minced garlic, onion powder, chipotle chile flakes, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
- Form the Patties: Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
- Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Add the buttery spread and cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Add a slice of pepper Jack cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
- Prepare the Buns: Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the skillet or grill until golden.
- Assemble the Burger: Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom of each bun. Place a patty on each bun, followed by a handful of spring mix lettuce. Squeeze lime juice over the lettuce for a refreshing kick.
- Serve: Top with the bun’s top half, serve, and enjoy your Turkey Burger Recipe!
