Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped jalapenos, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly but gently to evenly distribute all ingredients without overworking the meat.
- Form the patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a burger patty about 3/4-inch thick, ensuring they hold together well.
- Cook the burgers: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the burgers are cooked through. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain juiciness.
Notes
- Wear gloves when handling jalapenos to avoid skin irritation.
- For extra smoky flavor, consider grilling the patties instead of using a skillet.
- You can adjust the amount of jalapenos based on your preferred spice level.
- Serve on toasted buns with lettuce and tomato for a complete burger experience.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to mix easily with the meat.
