Instructions
- Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients. Add the ground turkey and gently combine. Form into 8 patties, about the size of the buns, making a small indent in the center of each.
- In a medium bowl, combine the salsa ingredients. Set aside.
- Grill the burgers for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from grill.
- Toast the buns on the grill for 1–2 minutes.
- Place each burger on a bun and top with the salsa.
- Serve with tortilla chips.
Notes
- For easier shaping, chill the turkey mixture for 30 minutes before forming patties.
- Substitute pepper jack or cheddar cheese for the Monterey Jack if needed.
- To make ahead, prepare the turkey patties and salsa separately and store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before grilling.
