These days one of my favorite ways to eat a burger is ‘sans’ the bun. (meaning without the bun)

I find burgers with a bun walk a very fine line. There is a bun to burger ratio that cannot be crossed. You want to taste the burger and all the amazing toppings, not be overwhelmed by this huge bun it’s served on. And more times than not, the bun overwhelms. So I just decided, burgers without buns is the way to go.

Plus it’s a easy way to cut back on the carbs and remove the gluten.

These Chipotle Turkey Burgers have been in my repertoire for a while now. I know I know. Why did I wait so long to share them?

You know, I’m not sure. I guess I was just so focused on creating fun new recipes that I didn’t focus on the staples I already have at our house. These burgers are definitely one of our favorites and loaded with flavor before they even hit the skillet.

In my opinion, ground turkey needs that extra boost of flavor. If you’re making a beef burger, all you need is some salt and pepper. But with ground turkey, which can get dry fast, I like to add flavor before it hits the grill. Or in this case, the skillet. 🙂

These burgers have minced chipotle peppers, fresh cilantro, garlic powder and onion powder for a nice smokey Tex-Mex flavor. They are served on a wedge of iceberg lettuce a thick slice of tomato and then topped with zesty guacamole. I added pickled red onions for a little more zing, but mainly because I’m obsessed with pickled onions.

Did you know fermented veggies are great for gut health? Well, they are! Which just gives me another excuse to load up on pickled onions.

Even though it might still be cold outside by you. No need for the grill, these burgers can be made year round because I cooked them on a skillet. So you can still have a taste of the summer when the snow is on the ground! Woot Woot!

These Chipotle Turkey Burgers have a little sweet, spicy, creamy and tangy. You’ll absolutely love all the flavor combination and how quickly they come together!

Bon Appetit friends!
