Green Chile-Turkey Burger

There are two camps of people when it comes to burgers: those who are purists and prefer nothing much in their burger and those who like to spice it up. I live strongly in the later camp. I like my meat well-seasoned, with lots of spice and flavor and this recipe does it up perfectly. I used some amazing green chiles I brought back from New Mexico and froze for this, but you can use canned chiles too. You will be surprised at how amazingly flavorful they are and you won’t even notice that they are low-fat. You could serve this with some avocado slices and radish as well as Monterey Jack.

1 teaspoon smoked paprika
