Taco Turkey Burgers Recipes

TACO TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a large bowl and combine with a fork (don't over mix).
• Scoop out turkey mixture by rough 1/3 cup onto wax paper lined cookie sheet, adjust as needed. You should end up with 8 equal mounds.
• Form each mound into a patty.
• Cook in a skillet over medium heat or grill, approximately 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through (completely opaque in center).
• Serve with your favorite toppings on an Arnold Sandwich thin.
• FREEZING DIRECTIONS: with patties equally spaced on cookie sheet, place into freezer for about an hour.
• Once solid, place each burger in its own zip lock bag.
• Place all burgers in a gallon zip lock bag or air tight container and store in the freezer.
• Place frozen patties in refrigerator to thaw overnight or during the day, or sit out on the counter an hour or so before dinner (they thaw pretty quickly).
• Cook as directed above.

TACO TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl add the ground turkey, black beans, bell pepper, onion, taco seasoning and cilantro. Mix until combined. Form into 6 patties (dampen your hands with water as this helps keep the meat from sticking to your hands), making them slightly larger than the hamburger buns (the patties will shrink as they cook).
• Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil, then the patties. Cook 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Once the patties are almost done cooking place a slice of cheese on each turkey patty (if desired) so that the cheese melts.
• Remove from the skillet and place on a hamburger bun. Add your desired toppings, our favorites are lettuce, tomato, sour cream and salsa, or ketchup and mustard.
• Enjoy immediately.

• Add the turkey, onion, chili powder, garlic power, salt, coriander, cumin and pepper to a bowl and stir until combined. Shape the mixture into 4 burgers and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the burgers and cook for about 5 minutes; flip and cook until the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F, another 4 to 5 minutes, topping the burgers with the cheese in the last 2 minutes.
• Transfer the burgers to the buns and top with tortilla chips, pickled jalapenos, pico de gallo and guacamole.

MEXICAN TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a medium baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion, green pepper, and garlic 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and cool slightly.
• In a small bowl, mix the salsa and 1/2 the corn. In a large bowl, mix the onion mixture with the turkey, taco seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of the salsa mixture. Divide into 6 patties, and press into the breadcrumbs to lightly coat on all sides. Arrange coated patties in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake the patties 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Drain any liquid from the dish, turn patties, and spread with the remaining salsa mixture. Continue baking 10 minutes, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).
• Warm the tortillas in the microwave, about 30 seconds on High. Wrap the cooked turkey patties in the warmed tortillas with sour cream and lettuce. Sprinkle with remaining corn to serve.
