Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/3 cup onion, diced small
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Tabasco Chipotle sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, taco seasoning, diced onion, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin; mix gently until evenly combined without overworking the meat.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 even portions and form each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add just enough olive oil to lightly coat the pan.
  • Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes per side (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C).
  • If adding cheese, place slices on the patties 1–2 minutes before they finish cooking and cover briefly to melt.
  • While the burgers cook, whisk together the Tabasco Chipotle sauce and mayonnaise in a small bowl until smooth; let rest for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  • If using buns, toast them under a broiler or in a toaster until lightly browned.
  • Assemble burgers by spreading chipotle mayonnaise on the bun, adding a turkey patty, and topping with pico de gallo if desired.
  • Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
