Ingredients

1 pound Ground Turkey
1 Large Egg whisked
1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika
2 teaspoons Chili Powder
1 Jalapeno pepper Fine chopped, seeds and veins removed for less heat
⅓ Cup Sweet Onion Fine chopped
½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
3 -4 Hamburger Buns Depending on how many patties

Instructions

Place all ingredients in a medium sized bowl and use your hand to gently blend everything together.
Form the meat into the patties. You can form them into four ¼ pound patties or three ⅓ pound patties. Depending on the size of your burger buns.
Chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Oil your grill grates by pouring a little bit of olive oil on a paper towel and rubbing the grates. Cook at 400 degrees about 6 minutes per side or until a digital read meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

Notes

Tips For Success:

- How To Keep Turkey Burgers From Falling Apart: Practice those knife skills and fine chop the onion and Jalapeno pepper. If the cuts are too large, it may cause the burgers to fall apart.

- Hands: Use your hands to mix the turkey burger ingredients together before forming into patties Your hands are gentler tools. A large spoon will simply mash the ingredients together, risking a tight dryer burger experience.

- Mayonnaise: A toasted burger bun makes for a great burger experience. Brushing a little mayonnaise on each bun, rather than butter will toast them beautifully.

We like to top these burgers with a simple Quick Lime Slaw: 1 ¼ Cup Coleslaw Mix or a mix of purple cabbage and shredded carrots, ⅓ Cup Mayonnaise, 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice = Easy!
