Hatch Chile Turkey Burgers
Hatch chile turkey burgers are great for celebrating both hatch chile season and grilling season. Dress them up with your favorite toppings.
Servings: 4 5-ounce burgers
Ingredients
- 20 ounces ground turkey
- ½ cup diced roasted Hatch chiles or 1 4-ounce can, drained
- ¼ cup finely diced onion
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground chile pepper optional, for extra heat
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 to 4 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs if needed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine turkey, Hatch chiles, onion, cumin, chile pepper if using, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- If mixture seems too wet, add breadcrumbs, a little at a time, until you can form a patty that does not fall apart.
- Divide mixture into four and shape into patties. Set aside on a plate.
- When ready to cook, prepare a grill for direct medium heat and grill 6-10 minutes on each side, or until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 165°F.
- If using cheese, add in the last minute or two of cooking to melt. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Burgers can be baked in the oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway though.
