Heather's Spicy Cheddar Cilantro Turkey Burgers with Sriracha Mayo

Makes 4 Burgers

Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1 pound Ground Turkey Meat

1/2 onion, chopped small

2 cloves Garlic, chopped/minced

1 Jalapeno, seeded and chopped small

2 tbs chopped Ciliantro

1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

3 tbs Soy Sauce

1 tsp Salt or Seasoned Salt

1 tsp Pepper

4 slices Pepper Jack Cheese

Sriracha Mayo:

1/4 cup Mayo

2 tbs Sriracha Chili Sauce (you can alter this amount to your heat preference, this amount is pretty spicy)

To build your burger:

4 Onion Rolls

Fresh Spinach

Campari Tomato

Whole Sliced Red Onion

Fresh Sprigs of Cliantro

In a large bowl mix together turkey meat, chopped onion, garlic jalapeno and cilantro, cheddar cheese, soy sauce, salt and pepper.  Portion out 4 equal sections and roll into large meatballs.  

Heat a large skillet to Med-High and spray with cooking oil.  Place all 4 meatballs into skillet, flattening slightly with the palm of your hand.  Allow to cook for 5 to 7minutes, then flip and flatten slightly with spatula and cook 5 to 7 more minutes.  This should just cook the meat through and leave the burgers juicy. Of course, this all depends on the size you make your burgers, the heat you choose to cook the burgers and the type of frying pan you use.  This time is based on 4 large patties cooked on med-high heat on a cast iron skillet.

Mix together mayo and sriracha chili sauce and place aside.

Once burgers are finished cooking, top each one with a slice of pepper jack cheese and cover with lid for about 30 seconds to 1 minute then remove from heat. 

Spread sriracha mayo on the both the insides of each bun and layer with fresh spinach, onion and tomato. Place burger on then top with fresh cilantro. Enjoy with Sweet Potato Fries.
