Jalapeño Turkey Burgers!

I love a burger with a little kick to it and these juicy burgers have one! I use 85% lean ground turkey so the burger has enough fat so that it doesn’t dry out.

I had the pleasure of leading a Whole 30 group in January (and will again in March!). It was amazing. And one of the things I love most about Whole 30 is it really makes you into a better cook! When you aren’t eating grains, dairy or legumes, you need to get creative with textures and flavors to keep things interesting and avoid food boredom. This extraordinary Jalapeño Turkey Burger is a perfect example.

Don’t these burgers look amazing? I can’t take full credit for them…although I would sure like to. They are a variation of a recipe one of the participants in my Whole 30 group created (thanks Lisa!) Of course, I had to throw a perfectly poached egg on them. Because that’s how I roll.

These Jalapeño Turkey Burgers are easy to make too. Just combine ground turkey, minced jalapeño, cilantro, lime and spices, form into patties and cook in a pan!
