Chili Turkey Burgers

This is adapted from a recipe in a recent Family Circle magazine. I used turkey instead of beef and made my own salsa. Also, I didn't use mayo and I altered some of the amounts of other ingredients. It makes a very juicy burger.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4-6
• Yields: 4-6 burgers

Ingredients

• Salsa

• 4  medium tomatoes
• 1  serrano chili pepper
• 1⁄2 medium yellow onion
• 3  tablespoons lime juice
• 1  tablespoon cilantro

• Burgers

• 1  lb ground turkey
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans
• 1⁄4 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1⁄3 cup salsa
• 1  teaspoon chili powder
• 3  teaspoons garlic, minced
• 1  teaspoon cumin
• 1  teaspoon olive oil
• 4  whole grain  hamburger buns

• Sides

• 8  ounces  corn chips or 8  ounces  potato chips

Directions

1. Combine salsa ingredients in a food processor until fully pureed. Refrigerate all but the 1/3 c needed for the burgers.
2. Lightly coat a non-stick griddle with the olive oil and pre-heat to 350 degrees.
3. Without cleaning the food processor, combine the turkey, black beans, onions, salsa and spices. Pulse until beans and onions are evenly distributed.
4. Make the burger mix into 4 patties (these are large so the mix can easily make 6 patties instead).
5. Lightly coat a griddle with the olive oil. Cook the burgers for 4 or 5 minutes on each side, until they are browned but not dried out. The burgers are very moist so be careful flipping them.
6. Serve on whole grain buns with chips and the remaining salsa.
