The Perfect Turkey Burgers

This will seriously be the best turkey burger you've ever had- nothing bland about them! I've made some modifications from the original recipe, which you can find here.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey breast
1/3 small white onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons of whole wheat bread crumbs (use fresh bread)
1/2 beaten egg
1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
1 jalapeƱo pepper, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon of dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
pepperjack cheese, optional

1. Combine all of the ingredients with the ground turkey in a large bowl and mix well. If the mixture is too sticky or sloppy then add some more bread crumbs until it becomes firmer.
2. Shape into 5 patties with your hands.
3. Grill the burgers on a sprayed pan until cooked through, usually 4-5 minutes each side.
4. Top with a slice of pepperjack cheese and dijon mustard, if desired.
5. Serve on a whole wheat bun.
