âI love burgers and I love Southwestern food, so why not combine the two in a light and juicy burger? I like to whip these up on a Friday, pop them in the fridge and cook them later for casual weekend entertaining or an exciting family treat!â âJan Warren of Clemmons, North Carolina Ingredients:
1 cup fresh or frozen corn, thawed |
1/2 cup chopped red onion |
1 small sweet red pepper, chopped |
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/4 teaspoon chili powder |
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano |
1 pound extra-lean ground turkey |
sauce: |
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled |
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream |
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro |
2 teaspoons lime juice |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
serving: |
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split |
shredded lettuce and reduced-fat mexican cheese blend, optional |
sliced tomato and red onion, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute the corn, onion and peppers in oil until crisp-tender. Stir in the lime juice, garlic, salt, cumin, chili powder and oregano; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer to a large bowl and cool slightly. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into four burgers. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. For sauce, in a small bowl, mash avocado with the sour cream, cilantro, lime juice, garlic and salt. Refrigerate until serving.
3. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear.
4. Place on buns; top each with about 1/4 cup sauce. Serve with the lettuce, cheese, tomato and onion if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
