Southwest Turkey Burgers

Who loves turkey burgers?!?  MEEEEE!  I have made these burgers a few times, but this was the first time I tried them with Cilantro Lime Mayo!  Let's just say, THIS is how I will be making them from now on!  I didn't go too crazy with all the topping because I used slider buns, and I didn't want to over-do it...but typically I take on the "more the merrier" mentality!  Load 'em up and enjoy!!!
(These are also "Hubby Approved"!)

Ingredients:

Turkey Burgers

1 lb. of Turkey Meat

1/4 red bell pepper (seeds & ribs removed)

1 jalapeno (seed & ribs removed)

1/2 small yellow onion
1 clove of garlic

1- 1 1/2 cups of bread crumbs

1 egg white

1 tsp. of cumin

Salt & Pepper (to taste)

Wheat buns

***Optional toppings - cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado

Cilantro Lime Mayo

1/2 cup of light mayo

1 tbsp. of lime juice

1 large handful of fresh cilantro (rinsed)

Directions:

1.  Pulse red bell pepper, jalapeno, onion, and garlic in a food processor.  

2.  In a large bowl, mix turkey meat, bread crumbs (start out with just 1 cup), egg white, and pepper/onion mixture from the food processor.  Add seasoning (cumin, salt, and pepper).  Mix thoroughly - add the rest of the bread crumbs if mixture seems too wet.  

3.  Shape into patties (I made mine smaller because I used slider buns).  

4.  Heat a grill pan over medium high heat, cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked throughout.  

5.  Prepare cilantro lime mayo by putting 3 ingredients into a food processor and pulsing until the cilantro is chopped finely.  

6.  Spread some mayo on the buns, and assemble burgers, I highly recommend topping with avocado!!!

Wish I had some left....
