Update: See me make these burgers on video!
About a year ago I was distraught to find that Trader Joe’s discontinued one of may favorite summer treats, their Southwestern Turkey Burger. I think they replaced it with some chicken burger but it’s just not the same.
This is my recreation. I cooked mine on the George Forman but I can’t WAIT to get them on the BBQ this summer!
but I can’t WAIT to get them on the BBQ this summer!- 8oz extra Lean Ground Turkey
- 1/3 of a red bell pepper diced small
- 1/3 of a green bell pepper diced small
- 1/3 of a yellow bell pepper diced small
- ½ of a small onion diced small
- 1 medium button mushroom diced small
- 1 egg white
- ¼ cup quick oats
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- ½ tsp cumin
- 1 tsp dried cilantro
- Salt & pepper
Put all ingredients in a bowl and combine with hands.
Form the mixture into 4 equal sized patties approximately 4 ounces each.
Grill about 4-5 minutes a side or about 6 minutes on the George Forman Grill.
I served it on a Whole Wheat Potato Roll (a whole wheat English muffin would work too) with a bed of baby spinach and some ketchup. I also cooked up the other 3 and froze them for lunches.
What about the husband? well, he had a regular old burger. BORING! ;~P

These are delicious! Thank you for the great recipe!
I made these for our church life group meeting and they were a huge hit! I have found some sandwich rounds that are only 1 point and pair great with these turkey burgers. These will be a staple in my WW menu, for sure!
Absolutely delicious!! I didn’t think I would like these more than the Grilled Honey Mustard Oat Burgers..but I do, or maybe I don’t!. I don’t know! They are both sooooo good. This one especially. I didn’t think it would fill me up, but, it was all I had at lunch on a roll with spinach and catsup and I was full after. Perfect lunch :)
Thanks again Roni!
I tried these last night and I loved them. Although I forgot to add the salt and pepper and the red pepper flakes. My husband liked them, but it did need more seasoning. So next time I will make sure and season them very well.
I had 16 ounces of turkey, so I just doubled the recipe. I will eat these all week for lunch.
I was wondering if anyone has tried to grate the bell peppers instead of chopping them?
Glad you liked them Laura! Haven’ tried grating the peppers but it’s a good idea! Let us know how you make out if you try!
I have another question. If Im going to freeze them, should I cook them first before freezing them?
I have only frozen them cooked before. Then they are super easy to pop in the microwave at work for lunch. I’m sure you could freeze raw but I haven’t tried it yet.
