Southwestern Turkey Burgers with Guacamole & Spicy Aioli

I cannot believe we have come to end for our Burger Week already!

I’m kinda sad about it, aren’t you?!

Lucky for you I decided to keep the best one for last so we are going out with a big bang today!

This Southwestern Turkey Burger was actually the second burger I tested of the group for burger week, but hands down our favorite.

The ground turkey mixture totally makes this dish shine, its actually the same base recipe I used for my Roasted Pepper Turkey Burger which has roasted red pepper and roasted poblano on top with goat cheese! If you haven’t checked that one out do it, its an oldie on JHE but a goodie! 🙂

The ground turkey mixture which becomes your burger patty has finely diced onions, garlic, fresh cilantro, ground cumin, and an egg for a binder. You will LOVE the flavor that this turkey burger gives off, in fact, dare I say it may be your new favorite over beef! Its so juicy too!

This burger is topped with lettuce, tomato, and a simple guacamole mixture which is just lime, avocado, and salt (easy peasy). But the kicker is this Spicy Aioli. Have you ever had piquillo peppers before? They are a type of red chili but it has more of a sweet taste instead of heat. I added a couple Piquillo peppers as well as chipotle pepper and lime to some mayo and this delicious aioli was born!

On Wednesday I gave you a bunch of tips on how to get the best burger… well I have one more.

Toast the buns!

I know its a simple thing and it literally takes 1 minute to do, but it adds so much flavor to your burger and the warm crunchy texture of the bun just amps everything up that much more! Do it! I promise you will notice a difference!

Alright folks, that wraps up burger week here at JHE, in case you missed it be sure to check out the other burgers featured this week.
