The Mrs. is out of town on business which gives me an opportunity to experiment.  I was pressed for time but decided to fire up the BBQ and cook some experimental turkey burgers.  I was thinking something spicy which led me to Mexican food.  And then I thought, what would a Mexican turkey burger ingredients list look like?  That's when I came up with this concoction.

We have a local fast food restaurant, In-N-Out Burger, which caught on to the Atkins Diet way back when and started to sell a burger without the bun.  I'm not on the Atkins Diet but I didn't want bread with my meal and thought the photo would look a little strange with a piece of meat in the middle of my plate.  I decided to go the In-N-Out Burger way and add some lettuce.  I think the photo looks great!  Of course what do I know?



Mexican Turkey Burgers

- one package of extra-lean ground turkey
- 1/2 cup of black beans, drained, rinsed, and partially smashed
- 1/2 cup of corn, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup of reduced fat four cheese Mexican
- 1/2 cup of chopped purple onion
- two chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- three garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- one tsp ground cumin
- two egg whites

In a large bowl, combine the above ingredients and form into four patties.  (Big burgers... I know!)

I grilled them on the BBQ for 5 minutes on each side.
