turkey burgers with chipotle mayo

Servings: 6 -7 burgers
Author: Taylor Ellingson

Ingredients

For the turkey burgers:

  • 1 lb ground turkey breast
  • 1 medium zucchini grated
  • 1 medium carrot grated
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • ¾ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • Focaccia round cut in half horizontally, then cut into triangles for the buns.
  • Boston lettuce
  • Provolone cheese

For the chipotle mayo:

  • ½ cup mayo I used reduced fat mayo made with olive oil
  • 2 adobe chiles I used canned adobe chiles in adobe sauce found in the Hispanic section of the grocery store
  • 1 tablespoon adobe sauce from the canned adobe chiles

Instructions

  • Heat broiler.
  • In large bowl, combine the turkey, zucchini, carrot, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and egg.
  • Mix together with your hands...sounds kind of gross but it's the easiest way to get it all mixed evenly.
  • Form into patties. I got 7 patties out of it but it can vary depending on how big you want your burgers.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the patties, turning once on each side, until there is no longer any pink.
  • This takes about 4-5 minutes each side depending on how big you make your patties.
  • When your patties are almost done cooking, brush the focaccia with the remaining olive oil, then place under broiler for about 1 minute.
  • When the focaccia buns and burgers are done, place one patty on top of half of a bun, top with cheese and place under broiler for 1 more minute to melt cheese.
  • Top with lettuce and chipotle mayo (recipe below) and enjoy!

To make the chipotle mayo:

  • Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until completely mixed.
