Description
A quick recipe for a spicy turkey smash burger with chipotle flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper in adobo, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese
- Chipotle mayonnaise, for serving
- Lettuce leaves, for serving
- Tomato slices, for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped onion, minced chipotle pepper, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal portions.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Place two portions of turkey mixture onto the hot surface. Immediately press down firmly with a sturdy spatula to flatten them into thin patties.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges are browned.
- Flip the patties. Place one slice of pepper jack cheese on each patty.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the turkey is cooked through.
- Remove the patties from the skillet. Repeat with the remaining turkey portions.
- Lightly toast the hamburger buns, if desired.
- Assemble the burgers: spread chipotle mayonnaise on the buns, then layer with lettuce, a cheese-topped turkey patty, and tomato slices.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a dash of hot sauce to the turkey mixture.
- You can substitute Monterey Jack cheese for pepper jack if you prefer less heat.
