Total time: 45 minutes
Description
Topped with smoked mozzarella cheese, these juicy grilled turkey burgers are filled with bold flavor from tangy lime zest—and jalapeños for a hint of heat. Delish!
Directions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients plus 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Form 8 equal-sized turkey burger patties and lightly brush them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- In a large nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat half of the canola oil on medium-high (a George Foreman® grill may also be used).
- Cook the burgers for 5–7 minutes per side, flipping once or until an internal temperature of 165° F is reached with an instant-read thermometer.
- Top each burger with about 2 tablespoons of cheese and melt in a toaster oven or an oven set to broil.
- Serve each turkey burger on a toasted bun. (If using a George Foreman® grill, once cooked, unplug the grill and add cheese to the burger. Leave the grill open and allow the cheese to slightly melt.)
