How to Make Little Kick Jalapeno Burgers
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground turkey, 1/2 cup chopped jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference), 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon cumin.
- Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in tough burgers.
- Shape the mixture into 6 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the burgers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until no longer pink inside.
- Top each patty with 1 slice of your favorite cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack recommended).
- Close the grill lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve immediately on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, and lettuce.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
