Thanksgiving is hurling toward us a million miles an hour! In about 3 weeks we'll be sitting down to the big dinner, stuffing and gorging ourselves until we are miserable. Ah, traditions. I've been eating turkey a lot lately. I eat a lot of turkey sandwiches when I'm traveling because it's easy and I know I feel better when I eat better. I have never (up until recently) been a huge fan of ground turkey, using it to replace ground beef, was never something I thought gave me the same result or flavor that I wanted. I stumbled across a recipe for Cumin Turkey Burgers a month or two ago and have made them several times since. Tonight I had some of the meat already mixed up and in the freezer so I browned it up and made some delicious nachos. Of course you can make them into patties and eat them with all your favorite toppings. You won't miss the beef in these burgers, trust me.
Cumin Turkey Burgers
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 egg
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup dried bread crumbs
Mix the egg, jalapeno and garlic in a large mixing bowl until the egg is well blended. Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire, cumin, mustard, paprika, chili powder, salt, bread crumbs and turkey; mix well and form into 6 patties.
Grill the burgers, or cook on stove top.
I add a chopped chipotle pepper to some mayonnaise and caramelize onions to top the burgers.
