Cilantro Turkey Burgers

I remember the first time I had one of these turkey burgers and how fresh the cilantro tasted. When I moved to Seattle, a whole new world of food and adventures opened up for me.  My mother was never a great cook, so when I moved out west I started learning about food and cooking.  It has been a passion for me ever since.

I mixed the cilantro in with the ground turkey, along with some spices and diced red onion. I like to serve these burgers on a fresh bun with garlic aioli, it is absolutely delicious.

If you can’t find garlic aioli, it is easy to put together. Simply combine 3/4 cup mayonnaise with three cloves minced garlic, two tablespoons of lemon juice, a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and black pepper. Mix it well and refrigerate until needed. It is the perfect finishing touch for your burger.

Instructions

1. Place the first six ingredients in a large bowl and mix together well. It is best to use your hands to mix the burger mix together.
2. Divide into 3 equal parts and form patties. I put the burger mix into an English muffin ring, it made perfect, uniform burger patties.
3. You can either cook these on the grill, or in the oven on the low broil setting. I made them both ways and they came out perfect both ways.
4. Cook until the juices run clear.
5. You can top them with the vegan cheese of your choice, if you like. I used vegan smoked Gouda cheese for the burger in the photo.
6. Serve on a fresh roll spread with garlic aioli and finished with the toppings of your choice.
