Ready in about minutes or less!
- 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey breast
- 1 shallot, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-cracked black pepper
- 4 slices of smoked cheddar
- 1 small red onion, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings
- 1 large tomato, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 1 cup baby arugula or spinach
- 1/4 cup chipotle “ketchup” (recipe below)
- Dijon mustard
- 4 hamburger buns (I usually use whole-wheat), split open
-
- Prepare the grill.
| | Combine the turkey, shallot, garlic and cilantro, mixing gently with your hands (take care not to overwork). Score the meat into four equal portions and shape the portions into patties (make the patties slightly larger than the surface area of your buns). Sprinkle both sides of the patties with the salt and pepper. Grill the turkey burgers for 5 to 8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. When the burgers are almost done grilling, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty (the cheese will melt as the burgers finish grilling). Also place the buns, cut sides down, on the grill to toast; remove when lightly browned.
Serve the grilled patties and toasted buns along with the remaining fixings.
