Southwest Turkey Burgers with Chipotle Mayo

So it was turkey burgers again the other other night. I love turkey burgers — they can be so moist and flavorful if you make them right. I found a recipe for a chipotle mayo online and decided the patties needed some spicing up as well. So instead of just salting and peppering the ground turkey, I mixed in a bunch of spices for flavor, an egg and onion for moisture, and crushed tortilla chips to keep with the southwestern theme.

The star of this recipe is the chipotle mayonnaise. It’s creamy and tangy but has a lovely crunch from small pieces of onion. It has a background of fiery heat, which you can increase by adding adobo sauce if you like more heat.  It didn’t take too long to put together and only needs a bun, some greens, and maybe a tomato slice to make you happy.

The chipotle mayonnaise also makes a yummy dipping sauce for french fries and keeps up to 2 weeks in the fridge.

Turkey Burgers

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Other bloggers out there are talking about stuffing or cranberry sauce or glazed carrots or roasting a whole turkey. I’m not an expert on any of those those things, but I would like to be somewhat topical with this post. So I started thinking about Thanksgiving and then it came to me — turkey burgers!

I am always in search of a good turkey burger. In my experience, most turkey burgers out there are bland and dry. To combat this, I like to buy dark meat ground turkey and mix seasonings right in to provide more flavor. Ground dark meat has more fat so it has more flavor and is less likely to dry out than white meat. You can also buy a white meat/dark meat mix. I don’t recommend the white meat only since it’s the driest and least flavorful. This is one of my favorite turkey burger recipes. It’s pretty simple and uses few ingredients, but they really shine and dress up a normally boring meal!
