Ingredients:
Burgers:
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Dash of McCormick's Hamburger seasoning (optional)
- 4-6 whole wheat hamburger buns
- 4-6 slices cheese
Toppings:
- Lettuce, Sliced Tomato, Sliced Onion, Cheese, Avocado/Guacamole
Green Chile Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
- 3 Tbsp. diced green chiles
- 1/2 tsp. cumin
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 5-6 drops hot sauce (to taste)
In a medium bowl, mix the ground turkey, taco seasoning and spices together. Form into 4-6 patties and place on a hot grill. Cook until cooked through, flipping once. (You can also cook the burgers in the oven and broil each side for 7-8 minutes until browned and cooked through). Top each patty with a slice of cheese and leave until melted.
For the sauce: mix together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
To assemble: spread the green chile sour cream on the buns, then assemble hamburgers with your choice of toppings.
