Jalapeno Turkey Burgers – Turkey burgers with a little kick!  Topped with fresh tomatoes and homemade guacamole.  

I am excited to be taking part in Burger Month today. Kita from Pass the Sushi and Girl Carnivore set up a whole month of different burger recipes from all around the web. There are over 30 bloggers participating, and we are all sharing recipes on different days. So be sure to follow along, there are bound to be some amazing recipes. I have a feeling my menu will pretty much be planned for the rest of the summer.  I know there are a few great giveaways as well.  Hamilton Beach has donated one of their new Indoor Searing Grills to giveaway during the month.  So stay tuned!

Hamburgers are kind of the quintessential American summer time food.  It doesn’t really matter what kind of protein it is made out of, as long as it is formed into a patty and grilled.  Everyone in my house loves burgers.  Chicken, turkey, or beef; we love them all.  Although my son might request turkey burgers more than anything else!  Top them with avocado, ketchup, special sauce, some kind of veggies, crispy onion rings, barbeque sauce, bacon; seriously, doesn’t matter!  Just pile it on, and as long as it tastes good, we are all happy campers.  I had one recently at the Burger Bar that was topped with bacon and pulled pork, I still need to recreate that one at home! My husband likes everything spicy so these jalapeno turkey burgers are definitely one of his favorites.

In the meantime, I went with a little bit spicy here.  Not too spicy by any means, my 9 year old doesn’t love heat, and he did just fine with these turkey burgers.   If you want the spicy, just up the amount of jalapeno in the burgers.  Because they have a slight Mexican flare with the cumin and cilantro I topped ours with our favorite homemade guacamole and fresh tomatoes.  The boys spread lots of ranch on theirs as well.  I didn’t have any, but I think slices of cheddar cheese would also be good melted on top!  Jalapeno Turkey Burgers will impress even your picky eaters!
