12 burgers

Ingredients

• 3 lb ground turkey breast
• 1 or 2 jalapeño chiles, seeded, chopped
• 1 cup diced Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño chile peppers
• 3/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 cups Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa
• 12 hamburger buns, split, toasted
• 12 slices tomato
• Additional Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa, if desired

Preparation

Step 1

1.Heat gas or charcoal grill. In large bowl, mix turkey, chiles, cheese, pepper and 1 1/2 cups salsa. Shape mixture into 12 patties, each about 3/4 inch thick.
2.Place patties on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 165°F.
3.Serve burgers on buns with tomato slices and additional salsa.


Success
Cooking burgers over medium heat ensures juicy, well-cooked burgers; cooking them over high heat will cause burgers to shrink.
Variation
When you want to use chiles with a little less heat, choose poblano or Anaheim chiles instead of jalapeño chiles.
