Cheesy Mexican Turkey Burgers

Recipe #380117 | 35 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: Shuzbud
Jul 3, 2009

These are not spicy (feel free to add spice if you like yours that way!) but have a fresh, vibrant flavour that goes well with burger buns or with other sides such as Mexican rice.

SERVES 4 , 4 burgers (change servings and units)

Ingredients

To serve

  • salsa, (optional)
  • hamburger buns, (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    Start the barbecue or preheat the grill.
  2. 2
    Remove the core and seeds from the tomato and finely dice the flesh.
  3. 3
    In a bowl, add to the tomato: the turkey, mexican cheese, paprika and fresh coriander. Mix well.
  4. 4
    Divide the mixture into four and shape into burgers. If you have time, cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to let the flavours blend.
  5. 5
    Place a sheet of foil over the barbecue or grill, or use a baking sheet if preferred- because these burgers are made from a low fat meat, they can break up if not handled carefully, so the foil helps them to stay together. Handle and flip them with care.
  6. 6
    Place the burgers on the barbecue or under a grill, on the foil or baking sheet.
  7. 7
    Cook for 15 minutes, flipping regularly.
  8. 8
    If using a barbecue, remove the foil at this point- after 15 minutes- so the burgers pick up the chargrilled flavour in the next 10 minutes.
  9. 9
    Cook for a further 10 minutes (whether using a barbeque or a grill) or until completely cooked through.
  10. 10
    Serve with salsa if desired, on burger buns, Mexican rice, or whatever takes your fancy!

    Very good - made them tonight with the only change being - I used salsa (which I drained) instead of tomato. Gave them alittle more flavor and spice. Other than that, no changes - turned out great. Thanks
