LOCATION

Directions

  • 1 Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat.
  • 2 Mix turkey, barbecue sauce and chilies. Shape mixture into 4 patties, each about 1 inch thick.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Whole-grain hamburger buns give you more fiber than white. Look for the words “whole wheat flour” on the label; many “wheat” breads are simply white bread with added color.

Turn up the heat by using 2 or 3 chopped fresh jalapeño chilies instead of the canned chilies.

These burgers were so tasty! The only problem is that they tend to fall apart when cooking them. I read the other reviews and added some breadcrumbs but they are still very delicate. The flavor definitely makes them worth it though!

I decided to try ground chicken and these turned out pretty delicious! I added 1.5 cups of bread crumbs and they were still pretty soft, which was different eating them. But nonetheless, they were good a change from a plain turkey burger.

My family tried this recipe and loved it!!! The only reason I voted it a 4 was because the consistency of the meat is a little mushy. I added about 1/4 C. bread crumbs to help with that. When my husband was grilling them he had to be very careful turning them. Once they were cooked they tasted so good I wanted to make them for the next night too. I did refrain and am looking forward to them in my next weeks menu!
