How to Make Southwestern Turkey Burgers
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground turkey, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the turkey mixture into 6 equal portions and gently form into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the turkey burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- During the last 2 minutes of grilling, top each burger with 1 slice of your favorite cheese (e.g., pepper jack, cheddar).
- While the burgers grill, lightly toast your burger buns.
- Serve the Southwestern Turkey Burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, avocado, salsa) and alongside savory sweet potato fries.
