Dinner Tonight: April 5, 2017 Turkey Taco Burgers
|
|
This fun twist on burger night can be customized to suit every eater. Use a mild cheese, such as American, if pepper jack is too spicy; add hot sauce or salsa if it’s not spicy enough! Pile on the avocado or leave it off, add tomatoes and lettuce (or don’t), or try mixing things up with toppings like black olives, pickled jalapenos, or sour cream.
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 1 lb. ground turkey
- 3/4 tsp. chili powder

Instructions
- Preheat a grill on medium heat.
