Guacamole Turkey Burgers - Red Robin Copycat
A Red Robin Copycat of the Santa Fe Burger, this turkey burger has Jack cheese, guacamole, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, and a homemade chipotle mayonnaise.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound ground turkey (or meat of choice)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Extra virgin olive oil (for brushing grill pan)
- Monterey or Pepper Jack cheese (2 slices or equivalent amount of shredded)
- guacamole, purchased or your favorite recipe (see note)
- 2 tablespoons light sour cream
- 1 Roma tomato (chopped)
- 2 hamburger buns
Chipotle Mayonnaise:
- 1/2 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (to taste)
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- Squeeze of lime juice (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the ground turkey with the Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Shape into 2 patties.
- Brush a grill pan with extra virgin olive oil and heat over medium-high. Open buns and place the pieces that face the burger down onto the grill. Cook until slightly toasted. Remove to a plate and keep toasted side face-up.
- Brush additional oil on grill pan, if necessary, and add turkey burgers to the pan. Cook until brown on one side, flip, and cook fully. Adjust heat as necessary. When the burgers are completely cooked, add cheese on top of each, turn off the heat, and put a lid over the grill pan to melt the cheese.
- Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise ingredients.
- To assemble the burgers, spread chipotle mayonnaise on each half of the bun. Place a turkey burger on the bottom portion of the toasted bun, then top with guacamole, 1 tablespoon sour cream, and chopped tomatoes. Top with the other side of the bun, and repeat for the second burger.
Notes
For homemade guacamole, I recommend Alton Brown's recipe.
