Tex Mex Turkey Burgers – Kate’s Recipe of the Week

This week’s recipe is a nice change from the standard burger. Tex Mex Turkey Burgers are easy to make, taste delicious, and have just the right amount of Southwestern flair.

Tex Mex Turkey Burgers

Ingredients: (4 servings)

• 1 1/4 lbs. ground turkey
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 1 tbs. dried cilantro flakes
• 4 cheese slices
• 1/2 cup light sour cream
• 1/2 cup salsa
• hamburger buns
• lettuce (Oops! I left the lettuce out of the picture.)

Directions:

1.In a large bowl, combine turkey, taco seasoning, and cilantro. Shape into 4 patties.

2. Cook the turkey patties. I chose to grill them on my indoor griller, however, you could also broil them in the oven or cook them in a frying pan. (Just make sure they are cooked all the way through with NO pink in the middle.) Top with cheese and heat until melted.

3. Combine salsa and sour cream to make the ‘sauce’ for the burgers.

Put on bun with lettuce and sauce.
