directions
- If you want this to be more tasty prepare ingredients the night before or the morning of -- then make patties when ready!
- Mix ground turkey, 1/2 cup salsa, shallots, cilantro, 3 tablespoons oil, hot sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper in large bowl. Shape turkey mixture into four 3 1/2- to 4-inch-diameter patties.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add burgers; cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low. Sauté until burgers are cooked through, about 4 minutes, turning occasionally.
- HINT: If you grill them make sure you use grilling non stick spray. heat on low. I think pan fry is recomended.
- I used green lettuce instead of buns.
- OPTIONAL: Arrange roll bottoms on 4 plates. Place lettuce, then burgers on roll bottoms. Top each burger with 2 tablespoons of remaining salsa, then roll tops.
