Hozzávalók

2 bell peppers (red, yellow, orange or green, finely chopped (~2 cups)

1 onion (finely chopped (~ 1.5 cups)

Útmutatók

Mist a large skillet with nonstick oil spray and warm over medium-high flame. Add peppers and onions and sauté until soft and slightly browned, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a medium mixing bowl, add the ground turkey and fajita (or taco) seasoning blend. Add in the cooked peppers and onions and combine everything using a spatula or your hands. Form the mixture into 5 patties. (If your burger batter seems too soft, place in the fridge for about 20 minutes to firm up.

I definitely recommend this firming step for burgers that’ll be cooked on an outdoor grill. That’s because a skillet pan provides a supporting flat surface, whereas an outdoor grill has open spaces requiring a sturdier patty.)

Reapply oil spray to the same skillet used for veggies and warm over medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, liberally mist the grill (and both sides of your burgers) so they don’t stick. Cook burgers on each side for about 6 minutes or the internal temperature reaches 165°.

Serve each burger on a warm tortilla and top with salsa, guac and optional Greek yogurt or sour cream.
