Time 35m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium-large, ripe, locally grown tomato to yield 6 ounces finely chopped, plus 3 medium-large ripe tomatoes
1 small red onion to yield 1 tablespoon chopped
1 small clove garlic
An eighth to a quarter of a jalapeno pepper
A few sprigs of fresh cilantro to yield 2 tablespoons chopped
A few sprigs of parsley to yield 1 tablespoon chopped
1 small ball of smoked or fresh mozzarella to yield 1/2 cup coarsely shredded
2 teaspoons olive oil
3/4 pound ground white-meat turkey
A few shakes of salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Hard, round rolls, optional

Steps:

  • Wash, trim and finely chop one of the tomatoes, as if making salsa. Finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
  • Wash, trim, seed and mince the jalapeno. Wash and finely chop the cilantro and parsley. Shred the mozzarella. Combine all these ingredients with the oil, ground turkey, salt and pepper, and shape into 6 patties.
  • Heat a nonstick pan until it is medium-hot, and saute the patties until they are browned on both sides and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Slice the rolls, and put the turkey burgers on them, if desired.
  • Wash, trim and thickly slice the tomatoes; serve with the burgers.

These burgers were a bit bland. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a more flavorful salsa.

These burgers were easy to make and tasted great! I used a mix of ground turkey and ground chicken and they were still delicious.

These burgers were a bit dry, but the salsa and mozzarella cheese stuffing helped to add some moisture. Overall, they were still a good meal.

I'm not a big fan of turkey burgers, but these were actually really good! The salsa and mozzarella cheese stuffing was really flavorful and the burgers were cooked perfectly.

These burgers were easy to make and tasted great! I used a store-bought salsa and mozzarella cheese and they were still delicious.

I made these burgers last night and they were delicious! I used pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella and they were still amazing. Will definitely be making these again.

These turkey burgers were a hit! The salsa and mozzarella cheese stuffing was a great combination of flavors and textures. I also liked that they were grilled instead of fried, which made them a healthier option.
