Last night I tried a new recipe. It was quite delicious. I made a few modifications but the recipe came from an advertisement from Sunset magazine (another favorite of mine, now that I am a farmer...ha!). This is what the recipe turned out to be:


Zesty Southwestern Turkey Burgers

4 whole wheat buns
4 turkey burger patties (I chose frozen)
4 slices of cheddar
red onion
jalapeno
2 T lime juice
1 t lime zest
1/2 c BBQ sauce

For the sauce: Mix BBQ sauce, lime juice, and lime zest together and set aside.
For the everything else: Coals are nice but I cooked mine on the stove top, grill pan is preferable. Cook turkey patties through, remove when cooked and lay sliced cheddar on top. Slice 4-1/4 inch onion rings and grill until tender and caramelized. Finely dice jalapeno pepper.
To assemble: Toast buns, slather BBQ sauce on top. Sprinkle one side with jalapenos. Lay red onions and burger with cheese on top of jalapenos. Top with other half of bun and savor the flavors!
