Tequila Turkey Burgers
Because today is Monday and I'm feeling pretty organized (read: I planned a weekly menu, went grocery shopping on Saturday and am off to a pretty decent start to the week)I am going to share our new favorite turkey burger recipe!
1 pound ground turkey
2-3 Tablespoon cilantro
2 garlic cloves (I press them using the Pampered Chef garlic press)
1-2 Tablespoon of diced jalapeno peppers (you can find these in jars - I like fresh but having a jar of diced jalapeno peppers comes in handy!)
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 Tablespoon tequila (and yes we feed this burger to the kids - the alcohol gives it flavor and it cooks off)
1 teaspoon lime zest
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
Mix all ingredients together and form into about 4 large turkey burger patties. We simply heat the Pampered Chef Grill Pan and Press and cook ours on the stove top.
Cilantro-Lime Mayo
Stir together 3/4 cup mayo, 1 teaspoon cilantro, 1 teaspoon chives, 1 teaspoon lime zest and 1 teaspoon lime juice.
We top ours with the cilantro-lime mayo, onions, lettuce, tomato, whatever we're in the mood for. We usually serve with a side of onion rings (although Luke does not like onion rings - sorry buddy - you have to suck it up on turkey burger night). You can also spice up the mayo a bit by adding some "Slap Yo Momma" seasoning to dip the onion rings.
Enjoy! (And we won't tell anyone if you accidentally take a swig of the tequila while you're making the burgers...)
