1 pound ground turkey (I use the light/dark mix for moisture and flavor)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
One 4-ounce can chopped black olives
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon chili powder
3 teaspoons chili seasoning (Penzey’s has a great new one)
OR 2-3 teaspoons Taco Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
Six 1-ounce slices Monterey Jack cheese
.
Gently combine turkey, onion, olives, ketchup, chili powder, chili seasoning, and salt. Shape into 12 patties. Fold cheese into quarters to fit inside the burger, and place one folded slice of cheese on six of the patties. Top with remaining patties and seal edges. Grill over medium-high heat 4-5 minutes on each side or until done.
Southwest Sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons ketchup
1/4 cup salsa – as spicy as you like
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro
.
In a small bowl combine sour cream, ketchup, salsa, and cilantro. Spoon over the burgers and serve. Makes six servings.
