Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro fresh chopped
  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns split and toasted

Method
 

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil grate. Place the ground turkey, onion, cilantro, chipotle chile pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl; mix well. Form into 4 patties.
  2. Cook the hamburgers on the preheated grill until the turkey is no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Place the mozzarella slices on the patties 2 minutes before they are ready. Serve on the toasted buns.
  3. You can also do this on the stove top. A cast iron grill is preferred, but a cast iron frying pan or stainless steel would be fine as well.

Notes

Aluminum foil can be used to keep food moist, cook it evenly, and make clean-up easier.
