A tasty and healthy alternative to the traditional beef burger! Definitely the best turkey burger recipe we’ve tried yet. The peppers, cilantro and onions truly add a unique flavour. Juicy and flavourful, with half the calories and a fraction of the fat.

2. 
   
3. Place ground turkey in a large bowl.
4. 
   
5. add onions, cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, seasoning salt and black pepper, a little at a time, mixing it all together (mix well).
6. 
   
7. For thick and juicy burgers make your patties 7 oz (200 gm). For thinner smaller burgers make your patties 5.3 oz (150 gm).

9. TIP: Keep a small bowl of water beside you to keep your hands wet, to prevent the meat from sticking to them.

11. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat, and lightly oil grill. 
12. 
    
13. Cook the burgers until the turkey is no longer pink in the center, approx 5-10 minutes per side, depending on grill. 
14. 
    
15. If you’d like to kick it up a notch, add some cheese slices to it. Mozzarella and spicy Havarti slices are great choices.
16. 
    
17. Add the cheese two minutes before burgers are ready. 
18. 
    
19. Toast buns on the grill at same time you add the cheese.

Garnish with your favourite toppings. I dress these the same way I would a beef burger.
