Spicy Southwestern Style Turkey Burgers

Place turkey, onion, jalapeño, and spices together in a large bowl and mix together until all the ingredients are incorporated.

Lightly wet your hands and use them to shape 4 circular patties about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.

Heat up about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.

Cook burgers for 2 minutes on the first side, then flip, lower heat to low, and cook them for an additional 5-6 minutes. Top with pepper jack cheese during the last minute.

NOTE: The turkey burgers must be cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check each patty for an internal temperature of at least 165˚F (75˚C) before removing from pan.

Assemble the burgers as desired with bun, chipotle mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and preferred condiments.

Enjoy!
