This is one of our family's favorites, and it's pretty healthy, too. I usually double the recipe because it reheats beautifully. I haven't tried to freeze the burgers, but I don't know why that wouldn't work. Ingredients:
1 1/4 lbs ground turkey |
2 tablespoons cornmeal |
2 (3 ounce) cans chopped green chilies, divided |
1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh is best but bottled will work |
1 egg whites or 1 egg |
3 teaspoons cumin, divided |
2 teaspoons chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn or 1 (14 ounce) can whole kernel corn, well drained |
1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes or 14 ounces diced tomatoes |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl and using your hands mix together the ground turkey, cornmeal, 1 can of the green chilis, lime juice, egg white (or egg), 2 teaspoons cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper.
2. Form turkey mixture into 4 or 5 patties.
3. Heat canola oil in a large fry pan, or if making a double recipe an electric griddle works great.
4. Fry patties about 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in the middle. If making a double batch, as patties are cooked, keep warm in a 150 degree oven on a heat-proof plate.
5. Meanwhile, in a small sauce pan, combine the crushed tomatoes, corn, 1 can chopped green chilis and 1 teaspoons cumin.
6. Heat the salsa until bubbly and thoroughly hot.
7. Serve patties with salsa spooned over the top.
