This Fat Black Chick

I craved Jalapeno Poppers and a Five Guys Burger yesterday. A big NO NO at over 1000 calories and almost 100 carbs.  So I created these burgers to get the taste I wanted minus all the bad. We found them yummy! Careful with the first bite they ooze!

Yields 4 serving

Prep to finish less than 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground turkey

1 tbl olive oil

8 oz softened cream cheese

1/4 cup diced jalapeno peppers

2 tsp low carb mild taco seasoning

• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp oregano
• 1/4 tsp paprika

Directions

1. Mix cream cheese with jalapenos in small bowl and set aside
2. Add taco seasoning a little at a time to the ground turkey as you mix so the taste will go all the way through
3. Divide meat and flatten into 8 small burgers around 1/4 in thick
4. Spoon a heaping tbl spoon of jalapeno cream cheese into the middle of 4 burgers (remaining cheese can top your burger once cooked or saved)
5. Take remaining 4 burgers and place on top of the cheese topped ones, then using your fingers press the edges together sealing the burgers
6. Heat skillet coated with 1 tbl olive oil on high, then add burgers reducing heat to medium
7. Cook for about 5 – 7 mins per side or until no longer pink. Make sure not press on burgers when you flip them
8. Serve immediately bunless or  on your favorite low carb bun. I put Cajun Jicama Fries on the side YUM!!!
