Green Chile Turkey Burgers

Ingredients

• 19 oz. pkg ground turkey
• 4 oz. can diced green chiles, drained
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2-3 green onions, sliced
• 2 oz pepper jack cheese, shredded
• 5 hamburger buns
• 1 large tomato, optional
• 1 large avocado, optional

Directions

1. Add the ground turkey, drained green chiles, sliced green onions, shredded pepper jack, cumin, garlic powder, and salt to a large bowl. Stir until everything is evenly combined, then divide the mixture into 5 patties and shape them. The mixture will be wet.
2. Cook the patties in a skillet, on a grill, or on an indoor grill such as a George Foreman until the outsides are nicely browned and the centers are fully cooked, with an internal temperature of 165ºF. Cooking time will vary based on your method and the size and thickness of the patties.
3. Place each patty on a bun with a tomato slice, a couple slices of avocado, and a swipe of mayonnaise.
