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.

Ingredients

2 1/4 lb. ground turkey
3/4 c. crushed baked tortilla chips
1/4 c. Sliced scallions
1 large egg
1 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. oil
4 burger buns
4 leaves lettuce
salsa
reduced-fat sour cream

Instructions

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