Fajita Turkey Burgers

Move over cheeseburgers! Fajita Turkey Burgers are here for the long haul! These juicy burgers are the perfect way to spice up a burger night in a much healthier way. A nice variation from the normal take of fajitas. Instead of a tortilla wrap, it comes on a bun, piled high with grilled peppers and onions. So delicious!

You can bake them, grill them in a pan, skillet, or bbq grill. The burgers are perfectly seasoned with a Mexican flair! You can certainly make them spicier by adding cayenne peppers or saute’ jalapeños to put on top! Of course you can use regular ground beef if you prefer but turkey burgers are just a healthier alternative with all the flavor.

We love tacos and chicken fajitas. They are so easy to make and so colorful. Tacos are just our go to because we believe everyday should be taco Tuesday. But sometimes a gal just needs a nice juicy burger. This turkey burgers combine two of our favorite things, chicken fajitas and turkey burger to create the ultimate meal. Lunch or dinner these burgers are perfect for satisfying all those cravings.

Ingredients Fajita Turkey Burger:

Making your own fajita seasoning isn’t as hard as it sounds, most spices you’ll probably already have on hand. The toppings and amount of spice is up to you! If you like it extra spicy, add in a bit of cayenne or tony’s or just add sauteed jalapenos to your peppers and onions.

Toppings for Fajita Turkey Burger:

The toppings are what make the fajita turkey burger burst with flavor. Cheeses, peppers, avocados are among the favorites here.

• Pepper jack cheese
• Swiss
• Monterey Jack
• red, orange, yellow, green bell peppers
• onions
• avocado
• guacamole
• lettuce
• spinach
• tomato
• chipotle mayo
• sour cream

Your choice of bun is really up to you. White or wheat buns are the typical ones you see but I think a pretzel bun would be fantastic! Or to make it even more low carb, just eating the burger piled high with the toppings works just as good or making a burger wrapped in lettuce. Did I mention these turkey burgers are amazing on top of a salad? Tortilla wrap it or just shove that burger into a taco. Your options are endless but anyway you choose, your stomach will thank you. 🙂
