01

Step
0 mins

In a spacious bowl, harmoniously blend the ground turkey, chorizo, minced garlic, onion powder, chipotle flakes, and a whisper of black pepper. Use your hands to gently knead the mixture until a unified blend is achieved. Sculpt the mixture into 4 patties, ensuring they are loosely packed to maintain a tender interior.

02

Step
9 mins

Set a griddle or large skillet over medium heat, allowing it to reach a shimmering warmth. Introduce the buttery spread to the griddle, letting it melt into a luscious pool. Place the patties onto the griddle, listening to the satisfying sizzle as they begin to brown. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low, continuing the cooking process for about 5 minutes more. With a spatula, carefully flip the patties, cooking until beautifully browned, approximately 6 minutes.

Step
1 mins

Adorn each patty with a slice of pepper Jack cheese, allowing it to melt into a molten embrace, about 1 minute more.

04

Step
1 mins

Lightly toast the hamburger buns to a golden hue in a toaster oven. Gently divide and spread mayonnaise on buns, then nestle the cooked patties over the bottom buns. Crown each patty with 1/2 cup of vibrant spring mix lettuce; sprinkle with fresh lime juice and cover with top buns.

For an intensified smoky flavor, consider grilling the patties outdoors. This method imparts a unique char that elevates the overall taste profile.
To achieve the perfect patty consistency, avoid over-mixing the ingredients. Overworked meat can result in a dense, less tender burger.
Experiment with different types of cheese to customize your burger. Options like Oaxaca or Asadero offer a delightful twist.
