Sometimes turkey can be a bit dry because of its low-fat content. In this recipe, the sauteed onion and red pepper in the burger and the salsa on top of the burger make up for any dryness in the turkey. This low-fat recipe is really delicious and satisfying. Ingredients:
12 cherry tomatoes, finely chopped |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning |
1/2 cup cooked fresh corn or 1/2 cup thawed frozen corn kernels |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
additional kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1/2 small red bell pepper, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon creole seasoning (store-bought or homemade) |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 lb ground turkey |
fresh ground black pepper |
