  • Author: Alexandra
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Description

As you bite into the juicy patty, you’ll be greeted with a burst of flavor from the spicy and creamy toppings and the delicious, moist wild turkey meat. The flavors are perfectly balanced, so every component shines through without overpowering the others.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lbs ground turkey
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 avocado (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 lemon (juiced)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 whole jalapeño (de-seeded and diced)
  • 1 beefsteak tomato, sliced
  • 3 tbsp Traeger Fin & Feather Rub
  • 5 whole ciabatta buns

Instructions

  1. Mix the mayo, lemon juice, and dry rub in a small bowl.
  2. Preheat the Traeger grill to 450°F and keep the lid closed. Add applewood pellets to the Traeger.
  3. Take a large bowl and mix ground turkey, jalapenos, cilantro, and the Fin & Feather rub.
  4. Form the meat patties by taking 5 to 6 ounces of the mixture into your hand. First, make them into meatball shapes and flatten them to ensure they are a patty shape. Aim for 1/2” thick patties.
  5. Place burger patties on grill grates. Cook the patties for 5 to 7 minutes, then flip the patties and cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Check the internal temperature of the turkey meat patties. They must reach 165°F before you take them off the grill.
  7. During the last few minutes of the burgers cooking, toast the burger buns on the Traeger. Once the burgers are done cooking, and the buns are toasted, assemble your burgers and enjoy!
