Step 1
Start by heating your grill to medium-high and give the grates a light brush of oil so the burgers don’t stick. In a bowl, combine the ground turkey with shredded cheese, diced poblano pepper, seasoned salt, and granulated onion. Mix everything together well until it’s evenly combined. Divide the mixture into four equal parts, then shape each one into a ball and gently press it down to form a patty. Place the patties on the hot grill and cook them for about 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. You’ll want to make sure the burgers are cooked all the way through—an instant-read thermometer should show 165°F in the center. Once done, serve the burgers on buns with a generous spread of mashed avocado on top.
Why you’ll love it
This burger is packed with bold Mexican flavors that bring excitement to your meal. It’s a healthier twist on a classic favorite, using lean turkey for a juicy and satisfying bite. Perfect for a quick dinner or weekend cookout.
How to serve
Serve with fresh avocado slices, crisp lettuce, and tangy salsa for a vibrant taste. A side of seasoned sweet potato fries or a simple corn salad complements the flavors well. Don’t forget a cool, creamy sauce like chipotle mayo for extra zest.
Storage & leftovers
Store cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the patties individually wrapped and use within 2 months. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the turkey.
