Recipe by Nancy Dell'Aria It may sound a bit strange, but adding crushed baked tortilla chips into the ground turkey mixture adds a terrific texture to these patties—and a fun Southwestern feel if you opt for the red and blue variety.

Instructions

  1. Mix turkey, chips, scallions, 1/2 cup water, the egg, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and salt in a large bowl until very well blended. Shape into 4 burgers.

  2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Fry burgers 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until no longer pink at center and internal temperature registers at least 165 °F on a meat thermometer inserted from side to middle.

  3. Serve on buns with lettuce. Top with salsa and sour cream.
