Jalapeno Popper Turkey Burgers


Want a hubby approved burger without the BORING but still keeping it healthy??  Here it is!  These are so easy to make and are delicious!

Jalapeno Popper Turkey Burger
Ingredients:

Burger:
1 lb. Ground Turkey
1 medium egg white
1.5 tsp. Italian spice
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Chipotle spice
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp both Himalayan salt and pepper
1/2 cup whole wheat panko crumbs

Stuffing:
1/2 cup Tofutti Cream Cheese (or any whole fat variety)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp. diced white onion
2 tbsp. chopped jalapeno
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Directions:

Fire up your grill or grill pan over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.  Combine all ingredients in the burger list in one bowl and mix well, using your hands to mix all the spices together.  In another bowl, combine all of the stuffing ingredients and blend well.
Place a sheet or parchment or wax paper over your counter.  Divide your turkey into 8 equal parts (1/4 cup each) and place onto the wax paper.  Flatten them all out quite thin.  Spread the stuffing mixture over 4 of the patties.  Lift the 4 remaining patties off of the wax paper and place over the cream cheese patty.  Using your fingers, lightly press the top patty outwards to meet the edge of the bottom patty and bring the 2 edges together.  Pinch the two edges together so all of your stuffing doesn't leak out when cooking.
Grill the patties for 5 minutes each side.

I served mine over Multigrain cheese buns with greek salad!

**21 day fixers** 1 yellow container for the bun, one blue container for the stuffing mixture, 1 red container for the turkey! ---->cream cheese isn't your TOP choice for the fix so I would recommend using this as more of a treat meal!
