Author Notes
While a lot of peanut butter burgers have a layer of peanut butter smeared on top of the burger, these burgers have peanut butter inside them, which makes for a slightly subtler flavor – the peanut butter adds a hint of sweetness, while also boosting the robust taste and richness that some people claim turkey burgers lack. —CakePants
Ingredients
-
1 pound
ground turkey
-
1/2 teaspoon
salt
-
1
jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
-
1/3 cup
creamy peanut butter
-
1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
-
4
strips turkey bacon
-
4
slices cheddar cheese
-
4
buns (pretzel or regular)
-
4
lettuce leaves (optional)
-
4
slices tomato (optional)
Directions
-
1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, salt, chopped jalapeño, and peanut butter. Once combined, separate into 4 equal portions. Form each portion into a patty about 3/4-1 inch thick, and press an indentation into the center of each with your fingers (this will help the burger keep its shape as it cooks).
-
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. While the patties are cooking, in a separate pan, cook the bacon according to the directions on the package.
-
3. Reduce the heat on the patties to low. Flip the patties back over to the original side, top with cheese, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
-
4. Place the patties in the buns, top with bacon, lettuce, and tomato slices (if desired).
