Ingredients

• Ground turkey - 300 grams
• Poblano peppers - 2 medium
• Red onion - 1 small
• Garlic - 2 cloves
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime - 1, juiced
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cheddar cheese - 50 grams, shredded
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Whole wheat burger buns - 2
• Lettuce - 2 leaves

Steps

1. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat.
2. Roast the poblano peppers on the grill until the skin is blistered and charred, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and let cool before peeling off the skin and slicing into strips.
3. In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well and form into two patties.
4. Heat olive oil in the skillet and cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and internal temperature reaches 75°C.
5. In the last minute of cooking, place shredded cheddar cheese on top of each patty and cover to melt.
6. While the patties are cooking, slice the red onion into rings and sauté them in the same skillet until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Toast the whole wheat burger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
8. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the turkey patty with melted cheese, sautéed onions, roasted poblano strips, and avocado slices. Top with the other half of the bun.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your Hamburguesa de Rajas!
