Spicy Southwest Chipotle Turkey Burgers

I think the warmer weather the past couple of days has put us in a grilling mood, because we were both craving burgers tonight. And what recipe in the Wiley household would be anything without a little spice? These were an experiment...that turned out to be pretty good if I do say so myself.

Ingredients:
10 oz. lean ground turkey breast
1/2 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
1 1/2 tbsp Southwest Seasoning
1/2 large onion, sliced
1/4 yellow bell pepper, diced
2 hamburger buns
1 avocado
1 tomato
Lettuce

Yield: 2 burgers
You can adjust the amount of turkey you use depending on your desired burger size.

Preheat your grill. While it's warming up, mix together the turkey, cheese, chipotle peppers, and seasoning in a medium sized bowl.

 
Form the mixture into two patties and grill for about 8-10 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked throughout.

While the burgers are cooking, saute the onion and yellow peppers over medium heat until tender and browned.

Serve the burgers on toasted buns. Top with lettuce, slices of avocado and tomato, and onion/pepper mixture. Add a little ketchup to make them spicy and sweet.
