Jalapeno Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Mix meat, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
• Shape the mixture into 12 thin patties, each about 4 inches in diameter.
• Mix the cream cheese, ancho chili powder, cumin, dried onion, and minced jalapeno.
• Top 6 patties with the cheese mixture, spreading it to within 1/2-inch of the edge (if the mixture is difficult to spread, try heating in the microwave for about 15 seconds).
• Cover each patty with one of the remaining 6 patties, sealing the edges well.
• Broil or grill the patties (4 inches from the heat), turning only once if possible, until preferred doneness and cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Low-carb serving: top with a bit of grated cheddar, guacamole, and enjoy!
• High-carb serving: eat with a bun and other condiments.

Steps:

• For the jalapeno jam: In a small saucepot, combine the jalapenos, sugar and marmalade and bring to a simmer over low heat. Simmer until the liquid reduces to a glaze, about 1 hour.
• For the turkey burgers: In a bowl, combine the ground turkey, salt and pepper and mix well. Form the mixture into 6 patties.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add 3 of the patties to the pan and cook until the first sides are seared, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the burgers are cooked completely through, about 5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon grapeseed oil and the other 3 burgers.
• Butter each of the buns on both sides and toast them in the hot skillet until golden brown.
• Dress each of the bottom halves of the buns with lettuce, tomato, red onion and avocado. Place a burger on top of each dressed bun and top with 2 tablespoons of the jalapeno jam. Finish with a bun top.

Steps:

• Finely chop the red onions and jalapenos. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix well. Form hamburger patties and grill like normal.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the semi-frozen salmon into 1/3-inch dice. Place salmon, green onions, bell pepper, jalapeno, sour cream, red pepper sauce, 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and black pepper to taste in medium bowl; fold together with a spatula. Add the egg white; fold in gently but thoroughly. (The mixture will be loose.).
• Heat the oil in a large oven-proof non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; form the fish into 4 burgers. Slide the burgers into the skillet, reshaping, if necessary with a spatula. Cook to set bottoms, 1 minute. Place skillet in oven; bake until tops are opaque and milky, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from oven; let burgers rest in skillet 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, split the pitas; brush the insides with olive oil. Grill or toast pitas until hot. Mash the avocado in a small bowl; stir in lime juice and remaining 1/8 teaspoons of the salt. Put each burger on a pita half; divide avocado to top the burgers. Top with remaining pita halves.

Steps:

• Allow the frozen dough to rise overnight in the fridge (if using fresh let it rise to double it's size).
• Knead in your mixer for 5 minutes (by hand 10 minutes).
• Add all the ingredients to the dough and knead for a further 10 minutes.
• Cut into 14 equal pieces (more if you want smaller buns).
• The dough is a bit moist from all the ingredients in it so you may want to use a little flour on your hands to form the buns- do not use too much flour or the buns will not rise as easily Place buns on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with veggie oil.
• For best results bake the buns on a baking stone, covered with a piece of parchment and lightly sprayed with veggie oil Cover and place in a warm spot until the buns have doubled in size (I place them in the oven with the oven light on this gives a lovely warm, even heated, no breeze place where they can rise undisturbed).
• This step may take 1-2 hours dependinbg on your dough.
• Bake in 350F oven for apprx 20-25 minutes.
• Place on a rack to cool.
• They freeze well.

Steps:

• Add warm water to the bowl of your mixer and sprinkle the yeast over top. Let sit 10 minutes, until frothy.
• Add the, oil, 1 egg, and sugar to the bowl.
• Add the flour, salt, cheese and jalapeno peppers and mix on medium-low speed with the hook until the dough holds together, about 2 minutes. The dough should clean the sides of the bowl. If not, add additional flour by the tablespoon.
• Increase speed to medium and knead the dough for 5 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to a large bowl that has been lightly greased with oil.
• Cover it with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
• Divide the dough in half and each half into 4-6 pieces (depending on the size of your burgers, typically about 8-9 buns per batch).
• Roll into rounds and flatten with the palm of your hand onto the baking sheet; placing buns about 1/2-1 inch apart.
• Cover with a damp towel and let them rise for 20 minutes + oven preheating time.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Whisk the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water.
• Brush the buns with the egg wash and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool minutes before slicing and serving.
• Store leftovers in a zip-top bag at room temperature. Freezes well.

Steps:

• Remove the seeds from the jalapeno and mince.
• Combine the turkey, egg yolk, jalapeno, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato paste.
• Form the mixture into four patties.
• Grill the burgers until done, about 8 minutes on each side.
• Serve with shredded Monterrey Jack cheese melted over top on a whole wheat bun, and enjoy!

Steps:

• Dice cheese into small cubes (best done with cheese cold).
• Dice the jalapenos. (seeds and all if you want the heat).
• Coarsely chop the parsley.
• Mix cheese, jalapenos, parsley, Cajon seasoning with mayo.
• Mix mixture into to ground beef. Do not over work, but try to make sure the cheese is distributed evenly. Pat beef into 1/2 pound patties ( I use a patty press). Refrigerate.
• Melt butter and sauté garlic. Spread garlic butter on both top and bottom of buns.
• Place burgers on hot grill. Rotate 90 degrees after 3-4 minutes. Turn over after 3-4 more and repeat. This will give you a great diamond grill marks. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 min while toasting the buns.
• Place the buttered buns on grill and lightly toast. Watch them closely or they will burn.
• Place burger on bun and add condiments. I like mine with just spicy mustard and pickles.
