THE ULTIMATE TURKEY BURGERS FOR CILANTRO LOVERS

Steps:

• Make the sauce quickly first. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Cover and set aside.
• Add the turkey, garlic, green onions, cilantro, and lime to a large bowl. Mix till combined, but don't over mix it. Its best to use clean hands for this. Shape the turkey mixture into equal sized balls for burgers (or smaller ones for meat balls)
• Press the balls to shape into burgers. They should be around 1/2 an inch thick at least. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Heat a pan on medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil and then the burgers to the pan. Cook for about 4 - 6 mins on each side until the burgers are cooked through. Remove from pan.
• Serve right away with the cilantro lime sauce, buns, and whatever toppings you like

GUACAMOLE CILANTRO LIME CHEESEBURGER

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
• To make the guacamole, mash the avocado in a medium bowl with the juice of half a lime, jalapeno, tomatoes, 1/4 cup onion, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of minced garlic; season to taste with salt, and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together beef, the juice of half a lime, 1 tablespoon garlic, chili powder, 1/2 cup diced onion, and cilantro. Form the meat into 6 patties.

CILANTRO BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients (except beef) in a large bowl. Now add the ground beef, and with fingertips mix gently until incorporated. Don't over mix.
• 2. Make 4 patties. **TIP** When making the patties, indent your thumb in the center of each patty to make a small well. This will ensure the burgers will cook flat and not puff up.
• 3. Prepare grill. I use a stove top grill and heat it to high, then lower the temp to medium. Coat grill with cooking spray and add the burgers. Cook 5 minutes on the first side, then 4 minutes on the second. You're burgers will be medium to well done. Serve with whatever condiments you like. I like lettuce, tomato, mayo and Dijon mustard.
