Southwest turkey burgers

​Wow! The last month has been completely insane in my household. From being on jury duty for three weeks! New upcoming work projects, my husband being out of town, and busy school weeks, I feel like Fall came out of nowhere! So with lots of take out orders happening this month, I'm determined to get back on the healthy eating, which is why I absolutely love this recipe. And the perfect Monday go-to meal. My husband and I try to "detox" from the weekend during the week and usually like low carb dinners. So this is always a hit! 


​If you're a fan of turkey burgers, doing Paleo or Whole30, you will love these!



Recipe:

• 1 pound of ground turkey
• 1/3 cup of chopped red pepper
• 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
• 2 green onions chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon of lime juice
• 2 tablespoons - 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce (I use Lea and Perrins.)  
• 1 jalapeño chopped (if you want a little spice)
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• Butter lettuce to serve in OR Outer Aisle Cauliflower thins
• Guacamole or avocado to top
• Slice of pepper jack or cheddar cheese melted on top if desired

Directions:
1. Preheat grill or grill pan on stove. Medium heat.
2. In a large bowl - add the turkey, peppers, green onions, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, jalapeño, salt. Use a fork to mix it up. Form into 4 patties.
3. Put patties on grill and sprinkle a little olive oil over them with a little more salt. Grill each side 5-8 minutes or when it's fully cooked.
4. When done, stuff in lettuce and top with guacamole and whatever other veggies and toppings you like on your burger.


​Enjoy!
