Recipe serves 4
1 LB ground turkey
1/3 cup of chunky salsa
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1 Tbsp A1 steak sauce
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
Mix ground turkey with salsa, shallots, cilantro, 1 Tbsp oil, A1 sauce, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper in bowl, refrigerate for one hour. Form into 4 patties and place in hot saute pan with remain 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Brown both sides [because the turkey is very lean be extra careful flipping these patties to keep their form].

Hi this seems like an amazing burger and healthy too! I currently reside in a small dorm like room and was wondering if I could maybe use a George foreman to cook the burger? Since ill only be serving myself, do you think it would be better for me to cook all the meat and store it or just store the raw meat and if I do so for how long? Once again, this looks like a very fun and enjoyable recipe I cant wait to try your Spiced-Up Turkey Burger.

Well, you are correct NaVyLaDy ground turkey is healthier for you than ground beef mainly because it contains less fat. I think the GF grill is a great idea… you don’t have to flip the burger as in a traditional grill, much easier!
Once you cook ‘any’ meat product you kill the bacteria load so my suggestion would be to make all 4 burgers; eat one [or two] saving leftovers for another day. Place remaining burgers in individual ziplock bags removing excess air and they should be safe to eat for at least 3-4 days stored in your refrigerator. Just reheat in a microwave or toaster oven.
Good luck and enjoy! Keep checking back as I’m adding new recipes all the time.
