Chipotle Turkey Burgers

I have finally figured out how to make turkey burgers without the egg and breadcrumbs! I was craving chipotle in adobo the other day so I decided to do chipotle turkey burgers. I served mine with some melted cheddar and a Greek yogurt "aioli" on top, as well as some baked asparagus on the side.

Grilled Chipotle Turkey Burgers

Ingredients (serves 4):

1lb 99% fat free ground turkey

2 cloves garlic, diced

1/4 white or red onion, diced

2 chipotle peppers in adobo, diced

1Tbl adobo sauce from the peppers

1/2 of a 4.25oz can of diced green chilis

1/4 avocado

2 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp chili powder

S+p

Directions:

Combine all ingredients into a large bowl and let sit in fridge for at least 4 hours (I recommend overnight). Score into 4 patties and make a thumb indent in the middle of each. Grill on medium high heat, thumb side down, for 5 minutes on each side. Top with cheese one minute before they are done if you wish.

Greek Yogurt Aioli:

Combine the following

1 heaping Tbl Greek yogurt

1 tsp light mayonnaise

1 tsp adobo sauce

1 tsp garlic powder

S+p

Grilled Asparagus:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place asparagus spears on a sheet tray and toss with 2 tsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes. Bake for 10 minutes.

Enjoy :)
