Instructions
- Place defrosted ground turkey in a large bowl.
- Dump the diced onion and garlic in the bowl.
- Shred about 10-15 cilantro leaves and dump in bowl.
- Season with adobo. I'm not quite sure of the right amount of adobo. About 5 solid shakes. I would guess that's about 2 table spoons. If the burgers don't come out spectaluar, keep increasing the amount of adobo until they do. ;-)
- Add about 1 1/2 table spoons of bread crumbs. This has little effect on the taste, but makes the patties easier to assemble.
- Mix all ingredients with your hands. That's right, get right in there and SQUEEZE that turkey meat. Get in touch with your inner Nugent until the ingredients are mixed.
- Pat the meat and make patties. That amount of meat should make about 5 solid patties, but you can do them any way you want. Do try to avoid patties that are too large and won't cook evenly. I think the perfect patty is about the size of the palm of my hand (for what its worth).
- Grill the patties. If you have a Foreman Grill, you can cook as many as you can fit in about 7 minutes. Otherwise, a grill pan will do.
- The best part: put any patties left over in a zip lock bag and stuff them in the freezer. That way, you can have ready made burgers next time you face the meat urge.
