HEPP'S Turkey Tex-Mex Burger with Zucchini salad
April 05, 2013
Summer is right around the corner that means it is time to dust off the grill. This is a twist on your traditional burger, we used ground turkey instead of beef but you can use any kind of ground meat. Serves 4 Total time 30 min
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil,
- 3 medium zucchini or yellow squash, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
- 1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
-
HEPP'S Aussie Flake sea salt and ground pepper
- HEPP'S Hickory Smoked sea salt
- 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (93 percent lean)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 4 ounces pepper Jack cheese, thinly sliced
- 4 thick slices country bread, halved
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and thinly sliced
- Salsa, for topping (optional)
Directions
- Heat grill to medium-high; lightly oil grates. In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, onion, lime juice, and oil; season with HEPP'S Aussie Flake sea salt and pepper. Let zucchini salad marinate at room temperature, 15 minutes (or refrigerate, up to 1 day).
- Form turkey into 4 patties (4 inches each). Using thumb, make an indentation in center to prevent burgers from rounding on top. Sprinkle with chili powder; season with HEPP'S Hickory smoked sea salt and pepper. Cover and grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of a burger reads 155 degrees, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- Top burgers with cheese. Cover and continue to grill until cheese has melted and internal temperature reaches 165, 2 to 4 minutes more. Meanwhile, grill bread until lightly charred. Place each burger on a piece of bread; top with avocado slices, salsa, if using, and remaining bread. Serve burgers with zucchini salad.
Alternatives: For zucchini salad you can use the HEPP'S Thai Ginger, or Lemon sea salt. For burger seasoning a regular flake salt like HEPP'S Aussie flake, or Cyprus flake. You can also finish with a Truffle sea salt, or the smoked salt as well. Both go really well with the avocado and burger.
