  2. Add the lemon juice, lime juice, red onion, chives, jalapeño, salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until half smooth and creamy. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.

For the Pico

  1. In a large bowl combine the diced tomatoes, white onion, jalapeño, cilantro and lime juice. Gently toss to combine. Taste and season with salt as needed. Add extra jalapeño if you want a bit more zip.

For the Turkey Burger

  1. In a bowl combine turkey, garlic, shallot, cilantro, bell pepper, jalapeno, cumin, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Divide mixture into 4 equal sections then form the mixture into equal sized patties. Drizzle the patties with vegetable oil. Place a skillet over medium high heat and cook the turkey burgers for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until no pink remains in the center. In the last minute or two of cooking, add the sliced cheese over the patties and allow the cheese to melt.

Notes

  • The trick to juicy and flavorful turkey burgers is to make sure you buy a package that is light and dark meat mixed.
