Mexican turkey burgers

By emtoothfxr

These burgers are so tasty, you don’t need to add condiments! I like to prepare extra burger mixture, form it into single-serving patties, and freeze. This allows me to prepare a quick lunch or snack. Kian didn't like the red bell pepper, Shahin and alexander just ok with them. Just make them for yourself.

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, cilantro, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, seasoning, cheese, and garlic. There will about 24 ounces (11/2 pounds) of mixture, or 4 cups. Divide into 6 (4-ounce) patties.
