There is not a week that goes by that I don’t have guacamole! I love it and if I was deserted on an island and could only pick one food to have with me it would definitely be guacamole!! So this week I wanted to make some burgers to go along with some chips and guac. What I finally settled on was a Mexican style turkey burger with fresh pico de gallo. I really like using ground turkey because it has a really low amount of fat – but if you wanted to use ground beef that would work here too.
Here is what you need for the burger:
- 1 pound turkey
- 1/2 onion – chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic – minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- fresh parsley
- salt and pepper
Combine all these ingredients together and then form 4-6 burgers. Cook each burger for about 6 minutes on each side on a grill pan over medium high heat. Place a little cheddar cheese on top and then these are good to go.
To make your pico de gallo you need:
- 3 medium tomatoes – chopped
- 1/3 onion – chopped
- 2 cloves garlic – minced
- 1 lime – juiced
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- salt and pepper to taste
Chop, minced and juice these ingredients and then combine them together and mix.
Whip up a quick batch of guacamole and you are ready to eat! I am off to Santa Barbara for the weekend to see my wonderful parents (I am so excited) so I will bring back from fabulous food finds!
