Jalapeño Turkey Burgers with Cilantro Lime Sauce (GF & DF)

It's grillin' season... and I have so many jars of pickled jalapenos from last years harvest.  I love a good spicy burger.... anything spicy for that matter!  Luckily my normally-super-picky-bitch-tummy agrees with me on this.  There's a reason everyone thinks I should've been born Mexican!  ;)

Jalapeño Turkey Burgers with Cilantro Lime Sauce

 Cilantro Lime Sauce

• 1 small bunch cilantro, washed & dried (approx. 2 cups packed)
• 1/4 C fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
• 1 small clove garlic- minced
• ½  t ground cumin
• ¼  t sea salt
• 1/2 C mayo
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• a bit of agave or honey
• 1/2 cucumber

Throw it all in the food processor until smooth.  Let the flavors mingle in the fridge while you make the burgers...


Jalapeño Turkey Burgers

• 1 lb ground turkey breast
• ½ C finely chopped red onion
• 1 T chopped pickled jalapeño- We pickle our own, my favorite! Add more if you want!
• 1 t ground cumin
• ½ t sea salt

Grill them however you like!  I like to do these with a lettuce wrap, fresh avocado slices, red onion slides, and of course covered in the cilantro lime sauce.
