Description

For this burger, you can use lean ground turkey. The spices give it enough flavor so you don't have to worry about  the burgers being dry. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • ⅓ cup shallots, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1½ teaspoons cumin

  • 8 Sliced tomatoes
  • 4 slices of light swiss cheese
  • 4 tablespoons guacamole

  • ½ cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons canned chilies in adobo
  • ½ lime, juiced

Instructions

  1. Place turkey, shallot, and spices together in a large bowl and mix together until all the ingredients are incorporated.
  2. Lightly wet your hands and use them to shape 4 circular patties about 4 inches in diameter.
  3. Heat up a non stick skillet and spray with cooking spray.
  4. Cook burgers for 2 minutes on the first side, then flip, lower heat to low, and cook them for an additional 5-6 minutes.
