Cilantro Turkey Burgers With Pepper Jack Cheese And Avocado Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the turkey, garlic, paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; mix with your hands until just combined. Form into four 1/2-inch-thick patties; set aside.
• Combine 1/2 avocado, the mayonnaise, lime juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; mash until smooth. Thinly slice the remaining 1/2 avocado and season with salt and pepper. Set aside for topping.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat (or preheat a grill to medium high and oil the grates). Add the burgers and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Top each burger with a slice of cheese; cover and cook until the cheese melts, about 30 seconds.
• Meanwhile, split and toast the buns; spread the avocado mayonnaise on the cut sides. Serve the burgers on the buns with lettuce, the sliced avocado and tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Cook and stir onions and garlic in large nonstick skillet on medium heat 3 to 4 min. or until crisp-tender. Add to turkey, beans, corn and seasonings in medium bowl; mix just until blended. Shape into 8 (1/2-inch thick) patties.
• Cook, in batches, in skillet 8 to 10 min. on each side or until done (165ºF), topping with cheese for the last 2 min.
• Serve on buns topped with tomatoes and avocados.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey with minced red onion, green onion, peppers, egg, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, coriander, and cumin. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions and, using your hands, shape into 6 burgers. Place burgers on grill and cook until just done and a thermometer inserted into the centers registers 165 degrees, about 3 minutes per side.
• Serve burgers on buns with cheese, lettuce, tomato, sliced red onions, and avocado. Garnish with Cilantro Mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Combine the minced shallot, soy sauce, Worcestershire, ketchup, coarse pepper, garlic powder, cumin and paprika in a large mixing bowl.
• Add ground turkey and mix well, but do not mash the meat to oblivion (no one likes tough turkey!)
• Stir in the Monterey Jack to evenly distribute.
• Shape into 4 patties, indenting the centres of each to fix the "burger bulge" (when they poof as they cook).
• Grill or broil until cooked through, about 6 minutes a side.
• Top each patty with 2 slices of cooked turkey bacon and serve on toasted buns.
