Chipotle Turkey Cheese Burgers with Lime-Cilantro Ranch dressing
Serves 8
1 T vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic
1 small red onion
2# Lean Ground Turkey meat
4oz can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
1 egg
1 sleeve Saltine Crackers, finely chopped
Half bunch cilantro, minced
8 slices pepper jack cheese
Salt and black pepper to taste
Lime-Cilantro Ranch dressing
2 cups Ranch dressing (homemade, or your favorite store-brand)
Half bunch cilantro, minced
Juice of 1 lime
Procedure:
Light your grill.
Heat a small sauté pan over medium heat. Mince the garlic and small dice the red onion. Add oil to the pan and gently sauté the garlic and onion for approximately 3 minutes or until translucent. Add a touch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Immediately transfer to a plate and cool in the refrigerator.
In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, chipotle peppers, egg, crackers and cilantro. Add the cooled onions and garlic. Gently combine all ingredients until evenly incorporated.
Divide meat evenly into 8 portions and shape into patties.
Combine the Ranch dressing, cilantro and lime juice. Taste and, if necessary, add a touch of salt.
The grill should be hot and very clean to ensure that the turkey burgers do not stick. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Grill for approximately 5 minutes, then flip them and grill for another 4 minutes or until the meat is fully cooked. Top each burger with a slice of pepper jack cheese for the last 60 seconds of the grilling process.
Transfer burgers to your favorite sesame seed bun (toasted on the grill, of course!) and top with the Lime-Cilantro Ranch dressing.
Guacamole or Pico de Gallo also make a great accompaniment to these spicy Mexican style burgers. Enjoy!Labels: aria, grilling, mexican, recipes, ronnie aleman, spicy food, summertime, Turkey Burger
