I wanted to make a spicy, smoky turkey burger… and wow this turned out all that and more. Roughly, here’s what I did:
The Burger:
- Ground turkey
- salt, pepper
- mustard (I used stone ground)
- cumin (maybe 1/4 teaspoon)
- curry powder (same amt as cumin)
The Topping:
- Roasted Habanero
- Roasted Roma Tomato
- Avocado
- Gruyere Cheese
To roast the pepper and tomato, you could use a comal (if you have one), or do what I did and put it in a glass dish in your oven on broil. You want to blacken all sides and then carefully remove the seeds and slice.
Caution: you need very little habanero to make this very spicy. For two burgers I used just one.
I love the intense heat of the habanero.
