"Little Kick" Jalapeno Turkey Burger

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, finely minced

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

2 tablespoons light beer or water

2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (I used Frank’s Red Hot Sauce)

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 pound extra-lean ground turkey

4 slices 2% pepper Jack cheese

4 Sandwich Thins or rolls

4 tablespoons salsa

In a small skillet over medium heat, add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic and chopped jalapeno. Cook jalapeno and garlic until soft. Remove from skillet and transfer to bowl.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked jalapeno, garlic, parsley, beer, hot sauce, salt, pepper and cayenne. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Divide mixture into 4 equal amounts. Shape into 4 patties.

If grilling indoors, prepare grill according to manufacturers instructions. I just put my burgers on the grill for 3-5 minutes on each side or until a meat thermometer reads 165° and juices run clear.

Top with cheese; grill 1-2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Serve on rolls with salsa. You can add sour cream and lettuce if you like.
