How to Make Acapulco Golden Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 pound ground turkey, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup salsa, 1 teaspoon chili seasoning, 1 tablespoon parsley flakes, and 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
  2. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, form the mixture into 6 evenly sized patties.
  3. Lightly spray a large skillet with olive oil cooking spray. Cook the patties over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned. Alternatively, grill the patties for the same amount of time.
  4. To assemble each burger, place a cooked patty on a bun. Top with 1 tablespoon salsa and 1/2 tablespoon fat-free sour cream. Serve immediately and enjoy!
