Smoked Gouda poblano turkey burger

June 7, 2016
Recipe

This turkey burger is bursting with flavor, thanks to poblano peppers, smoked Gouda cheese, lime juice and cumin in the patty mixture.

Serves 2

If you can't find smoked Gouda, you can substitute another pungent cheese such as havarti, sharp cheddar, boursin, pepper jack or Asiago.


Heat a skillet or grill to medium heat. Roast whole poblano pepper until the skin is blackened. Carefully peel off roasted skin, chop poblano into small chunks and set aside until cool.

In a medium bowl, mix the turkey breast, chopped poblano, oats, onion, Gouda cheese, lime juice, cumin, garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper. Form the mixture into 2 4-ounce patties.

Spray the cooking surface with cooking spray and place the patties on top. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side until the patties reach an internal temperature of 160 F. Remove from heat and allow them to rest until reaching 165 F. Serve on buns.
