turkey burgers with a little kick

I was never a big fan of turkey burgers until I tried one that had peppers and onions mixed into it and it changed my outlook on the beef alternative. I’ve since come to respect turkey as a perfect platform to experiment with spicing things up. Last weekend I whipped up my best version yet, a spicy burger with aged cheddar and garlic toasted bread as a bun. Mmmm, it was the perfect melding of flavors and it was pretty dang easy.

Spicy Turkey Burgers:
1 lb ground turkey
1 Tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dried chili flakes
1 clove of garlic, minced
aged cheddar
sourdough bread

1
In a mixing bowl, combine turkey, worcestershire sauce, chili flakes and garlic. Mix well.
2
Form into four patties. I like to make mine wide and flat.
3
In a frying pan, heat a little bit of olive oil. Place the patties in the pan and let cook, flipping after a few minutes.
4
About 3 minutes before you think the burgers will be done, place the sliced cheese on each burger while it cooks. Also, toast the sourdough bread. Once it’s done, rub a little garlic on the toast or sprinkle some garlic powder on it.

Assemble the burger and eat up… so delicious!
