Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey meat
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed or olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
- ½ cup Jack cheese shredded, or cheddar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
For the guacamole:
- 2 avocados pitted and peeled
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 jalapeño seeded and finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons red onion finely chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
For Serving:
- 3 or 4 burger buns of choice
- 2 poblano peppers roasted
- Queso Fresco
- 3 slices to 6 thick cut bacon
- Sweet potato fries
Instructions
Roast the Poblano peppers:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Lightly coat the poblano peppers with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place them on a baking sheet.
- Roast peppers in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until fragrant, then flip to the other side and roast an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the skin turns golden brown and begins to pull away from the flesh.
- Place peppers on a cutting board to cool. Remove the tops and innards, and chop the peppers in half. Set aside until burgers are ready.
Prepare the Guacamole:
- Add all ingredients for the guacamole to a bowl and use a fork to mash everything together. You can leave the guacamole chunky, or continue mashing it until it’s creamy.
Make the Burgers:
- Combine all ingredients for the burger patties in a mixing bowl and use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
- Form three or four burger patties (depending on your desired burger size) and place them on a plate.
- Heat your grill to medium high, or heat a skillet to medium with enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Place burger patties on the grill or skillet and cook until sides begin to turn color and firm up, about 5 to 6 minutes. Flip and cook until burgers reach 165 degrees in the center.
- Place burger patties on a toasted bun along with a hunk of roasted poblanos, 1 or 2 slices of cooked bacon, desired amount of guacamole, and queso fresco.
- Serve with sweet potato fries, and enjoy!
