Spicy Turkey Burger

This burger is the BEST turkey burger you will ever eat...if you like zesty flavor and a lot of spice! This is not for the faint of heart. My husband got a grill bug and felt like grilling last weekend. He went to the store and came home to make us this amazing tasting burger. We don't have burger's that often but I know what a good burger tastes like! In fact, I would even say this rivals a Five Guys burger. I had no idea it was ground turkey when I first sunk my teeth into it, it was so good. We had left over ground turkey so we fired up the grill again last night. It looks like a Valentine's Day meal with the hot pink mess on the side but that was actually roasted beets with Greek yogurt dressing. Recipe for roasted beets coming soon but for now, do yourself a favor and make this burger.



Ingredients:


2 lbs. lean ground turkey


2 tablespoons minced garlic


1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root


2 fresh green chile peppers, diced


1 medium red onion, diced


1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped


1 teaspoon salt


1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce


1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper


3 tablespoons, paprika


1 tablespoon ground dry mustard


1 tablespoon ground cumin


1 dash Worcestershire sauce


Directions:


Preheat the grill for high heat. In a bowl, mix the ground turkey, garlic, ginger, chile peppers, red onion, cilantro, salt, soy sauce, black pepper, paprika, mustard, cumin, and Worcestershire sauce. Form the mixture into 8 burger patties. Place turkey burgers on the grill, and cook 5-10 minutes per side, until well done.
