Ingredients
1 poblano pepper
2 pounds dark meat ground turkey
2 pounds white meat ground turkey
2/3 jalapeno, seeded and minced
Pinch of kosher salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
10 to 12 brioche or gluten-free buns, sliced in half
Butter lettuce leaves, for serving
10 to 12 slices beefsteak tomato
10 to 12 slices red onion
Suggested toppings: mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup
Directions
- Using tongs, grill the poblano on the stovetop until the skin is blackened. Place in a paper or plastic bag and set aside to cool for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the skin and seeds from the poblano under running water, then dice.
- Add the dark and light meat ground turkey to a bowl. Add the poblano, jalapeno, salt and pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix together. Form the mixture into 10 to 12 patties.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium high and cook the burgers until charred and golden on the outside and cooked all the way through, 5 minutes per side. Toast the buns cut-side down on the grill until golden, a couple of minutes.
- Serve the burgers in the buns (or wrap in lettuce leaves) with sliced tomato, red onion, lettuce, mustard, mayonnaise and ketchup.
