      4. Jalapeño-Lime Turkey Burger with Smoked Mozzarella Recipe

      Jalapeño-Lime Turkey Burger with Smoked Mozzarella

      Low Potassium High Protein Egg-Free Nut-Free No Shellfish American Turkey Lunch Dinner

      Jalapeño-Lime Turkey Burger with Smoked Mozzarella

      Low Potassium High Protein Egg-Free Nut-Free No Shellfish American Turkey Lunch Dinner
      Serves 8 (1 serving = 1 burger)
      Prep time: 30 minutes
      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

      1. 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.
      2. 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).
      3. 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.
      4. Top each burger with about 2 tablespoons of cheese and melt in a toaster oven or an oven set to broil.
      5. 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.)

      *Tip: When handling or cutting jalapeño peppers, it is best to wear plastic or rubber gloves and do not touch your face. If you do not wear gloves, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching your face or eyes.

      **Tip: To zest, move a grating tool (e.g., zester, peeler, box grater) slowly back and forth across the peel. Be careful to remove only the outermost, colorful layer of the peel and not any of the bitter, white pith.
