Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Pound (lb) ground turkey
• 0.5 Cups onion, minced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh cilantro, minced
• 1 Whole chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) onion powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) seasoned salt
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 4 Slices mozzarella cheese
• 4 Whole hamburger buns, divided and toasted

Steps

1. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, minced onion, cilantro, chipotle chile, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, ensuring they are slightly larger than the buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
4. Place the patties on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the turkey is no longer pink in the center.
5. Two minutes before the patties are done, place a slice of mozzarella cheese on each patty to melt.
6. Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
7. Serve the patties on toasted hamburger buns. For an extra kick, consider adding a dollop of chipotle mayo and slices of avocado. Enjoy your gourmet turkey burgers!
