Southwest Turkey (or Chicken) Burgers



Mmmmmmmmm, mmmm, good. Turkey burgers are often dry or flavorless but, rarely, they can be phenomenal. This is one of those phenomenal turkey burgers. Full of flavor and moist.

Southwest Turkey/Chicken Burgers
Modified from Epicurious

1 pound ground turkey or chicken thighs
1 can of NM Hatch Green Chiles (with liquid)
2 tsp chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

To the ground meat, add all the ingredients above. Form into patties and grill or pan fry. If you make them particularly thick, form a hole in the center to make sure that all surfaces cook through before drying out. (A trick I actually learned from Costco.) I recomend topping with quacamole or adobo chili mayonnaise/aioli. I enjoyed mine on a bolillo loaf (above) while Dave went the more traditional route on a potato bread bun. Mmmmmmmmm...
