A spicy, flavorful, and moist turkey burger. This is my husband's favorite. It tastes delicious and I make it with extra lean ground turkey breast. The grated onion, barbeque sauce, and Worcestershire sauce add moisture as well as flavor to the turkey.

Burgers

  • 1 ¼ pounds ground turkey breast

  • ½ large onion, grated

  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

  • 2 tablespoons barbeque sauce

  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • ¼ teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

  • 1 tablespoon steak seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon dry mesquite flavored seasoning mix

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, honey, horseradish, hot pepper sauce, and cayenne pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
