Smoky Chipotle Burger

The Smoky Chipotle Burger is a flavorful and spicy twist on the classic American burger, featuring a smoky chipotle-infused patty topped with fresh avocado and crisp lettuce. This healthy version uses lean turkey and whole grain buns, making it both delicious and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Ground turkey - 300 grams
• Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - 1 tablespoon, minced
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Whole grain burger buns - 2
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Lettuce leaves - 4
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, minced chipotle peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 75°C.
4. While the patties are cooking, slice the whole grain buns and toast them lightly if desired.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the turkey patty, sliced avocado, tomato, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately with a side salad or baked sweet potato fries.
