âWe love burgers on the grill, but turkey burgers can be bland and beef burgers can be fatty. To create these burgers, I used a spice combination from a taco recipe and then tinkered with cheeses and different toppings,â says Heather Byers, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Ingredients:
1/2 cup salsa, divided |
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese |
3 teaspoons paprika |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
3/4 teaspoon sugar |
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 pound extra-lean ground turkey |
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
4 hamburger buns, split |
1/2 cup torn curly endive |
1 medium tomato, chopped |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup salsa, cheese, paprika, oregano, cumin, sugar, garlic powder, thyme, salt and cayenne. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into four burgers.
2. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear.
3. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and remaining salsa. Place burgers on buns; top with endive, tomato and sour cream mixture. Yield: 4 servings.
