Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Turkey burger patties
  • 1 lb (454 g) extra lean ground turkey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons canned chipotles in adobo sauce, pureed
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Assembly
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 avocado, sliced or mashed
  • Nectarine salsa

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix the ground turkey, garlic, chipotles in adobo sauce, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until the ingredients are evenly distributed, taking care not to overmix.
  2. Cover the turkey mixture and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
  3. Form the mixture into 4 patties and make a shallow indentation on the bottom of each patty.
Cooking
  1. Heat a grill to medium-high and place the patties on the grill with the indented side facing down. Cook without pressing the patties.
  2. Turn the patties after a few minutes and continue grilling until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C.
Serving
  1. Place the turkey patties on buns and serve with avocado and nectarine salsa.

Notes

If the turkey mixture is too loose to shape easily, chill it for 30 minutes before forming the patties.
