Turkey Chorizo Burger Recipe: A Flavorful & Healthy Twist

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 4 links Mexican chorizo sausage, casings removed
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon chipotle chile flakes
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons buttery spread
• 4 slices pepperjack cheese
• 4 hamburger buns
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise, divided
• 2 cups spring mix lettuce, divided
• 1 lime, juiced

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine ground turkey, chorizo, garlic, onion powder, chipotle flakes, and black pepper. Gently form the mixture into 4 patties.
2. Preheat a griddle or large skillet to medium heat. Melt buttery spread on the hot surface. Place patties on the griddle and cook for about 3 minutes, until browned. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking for approximately 5 more minutes. Flip the patties and cook for about 6 minutes until browned.
3. Place a slice of pepper Jack cheese on top of each patty. Continue cooking for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
4. Toast the hamburger buns in a toaster oven until golden brown. Spread mayonnaise evenly on both halves of the buns. Place the cooked patties on the bottom buns. Top each patty with 1/2 cup of spring mix lettuce. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the lettuce and cover with the top buns. Enjoy!
