Chipotle Turkey Burgers

3 reviews / 5 average

Once upon a time, I made Nectarine Basil Salsa.

Once upon a different time, I made smoky and spicy chipotle turkey burgers and loved it. But my love wasn’t pure because I was still dreaming of the Nectarine Basil Salsa.

So I played matchmaker, and (as you might have noticed from picture number one with the giant bite) I am superhappy with the results! You should be happy too, because this burger is low fat, high protein, and max flavor. And the salsa, well, we already talked about the salsa. I’m obsessed.

PS. This makes for a great meal stealer. Like when I make chipotle turkey burgers and steal the leftover turkey to make chipotle turkey tacos. That’s what I call two for the price of one.

      Thanks! 🙂 I am actually working on some photoshop/ food photography posts. I’m no professional, but I’ve learned a few tricks in the last year or two!

    Oh my – those just look absolutely incredible. I have to remember to only visit your blog BEFORE I eat my meals because inevitably I get so jealous of whatever it is you’ve made!

    YUM – I always think I want to make turkey burgers, but I just never do. My favorite is from Longfellow Grill… it has peanuts and jalapenos in it, along with other ingredients, too. So good. This looks simple and promising enough – I should give it a try! 🙂

      I think I need to get to the Longfellow Grill asap! Peanuts and jalapenos – that sounds so good!

      Awesome! If you love spicy food, you should increase the amount of chipotle. It’s mildly spicy and smoky as is, but if you can handle the heat you might want to add more! Hope you like them!
