Juicy Jalapeno Cranberry Turkey Burgers
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Ground Turkey
- 1 Clove Garlic - Diced
- 1 Jalapeno - Seeded and Diced
- ¾ Cup Red Onion - Diced
- ¾ Cup Mushroom - Diced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- ½ teaspoon Cumin
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard
- 1 Egg
- 1/3 Cup Dried cranberries - Chopped
Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium. Add red onion, garlic, mushroom, and jalapeno to heated pan. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Add paprika, cumin, and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes, moving frequently, until mushrooms just start to soften and all ingredients are coated in spice mixture. Set mixture aside to cool.
- Incorporate cooled onion mixture into the ground turkey along with dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, dried cranberries, and egg. Be careful not to overmix.
- Chill turkey mixture for at least 15 minutes in fridge before cooking.
- Form 4 turkey patties for cooking. Keep them wide and thin as they may shrink during the cooking process. Using your finger, press down and create a "dimple" in the middle of the burger. This will help keep the burger a uniform width.
- Cook burgers in a non-stick pan about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165.
- Serve with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and/or guacamole.
Notes
If you're not a fan of spice, you can leave the jalapeno out. The turkey burgers will still be juicy and full of flavor!
