It's the start of grilling (Affiliate Link) season, so for my first recipe. Grilling (Affiliate Link) season is a great time to revisit our favorite collection of recipes. This one is one of my favorites: Mexican Turkey Burger. Over the years, I have modified it and swapped out the ingredients depending on my family’s dietary needs.

I’ve made this recipe as a regular turkey burger with regular breadcrumbs. I also swapped out the breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option, and it was still delicious. I recently swapped the egg out for a non-egg (vegan) option since a family member can’t eat eggs. All these options gave these Mexican Turkey Burgers a great taste. And, when adding the toppings, we enhanced the deliciousness.

Best of all, this recipe is one of my favorite freezer meal recipes. If you don’t know what freezer meals are, let me explain.

What are freezer meals?

Freezer meals are healthy meals and ingredients you make ahead of time, place them in a freezer gallon bag, and when you are ready to enjoy them, you pull them out, defrost, and cook. This saves time during the week on prep and is great for last-minute healthy dinners (Affiliate Link). And, best of all, it saves you money! Feel free to check out our other Freezer Meal Recipes.

I have made this turkey burger recipe as a freezer meal for years, and it works great! It beats take-out or delivery at any time. This recipe works great for a quick meal during the week or for making ahead and then freezing. It holds up well both ways. Here is how I make it.

How to make Mexican Turkey Burgers?

The ingredients are pretty simple. It’s not completed at all. I will show you the options in the ingredients below.

What ingredients are in Mexican Turkey Burgers?

1 lb Ground Turkey
On
e teaspoon dried Oregano (Affiliate Link)
1 teaspoon Cumin powder
2 teaspoon Granulated Garlic
Tw
o eggs
2 tablespoon Salsa (Your favorite type) Mild
1 cups of Panko Breadcrumbs

Mexican Turkey Burger Ingredients

How to make a Mexican Turkey Burger Recipe Gluten-Free?

To make this turkey burger recipe gluten-free, wrap out the Panko Breadcrumbs and add the gluten-free breadcrumbs of your choice. I found that the gluten-free option only needed one cup, not two cups.

How to make a Mexican Turkey Burger Recipe egg-free?

To make this Mexican turkey burger recipe egg-free, swap out the egg for your favorite egg alternative.

Additional notes about this Mexican turkey burger recipe.

If you prefer, you can use salsa's spice options to give it some extra kick. If you want to add more salsa, you can add one more tablespoon. Otherwise, it will be too wet and stick to the pan or grill.

Now that you decided what type of Mexican turkey burger recipe you will make, be sure to figure out the toppings. Below are the toppings that I prefer on turkey burgers and would work nicely with these burgers.

What Additions and Toppings go with Turkey Burger?

Whole Wheat Rolls - of course. Or you can do a Gluten-Free bun or have it on lettuce.
Slice of cheese or slice of non-dairy cheese—Depending on how large your turkey burger is, you can decide to add half a slice of cheese or maybe two.
Lettuce - a slice or two of lettuce works nicely with the burger.
Tomato - a thin slice of tomato goes nicely with this dish, too.
Avocado or Mayo - Since this recipe is dry, you may want to add some extra fat when you build your sandwich. You can add some slices of avocado or a dollop of mayo—your choice.
Red Onion - if you prefer onion, you can add a thin slice of red onion as well.

How to make Mexican Turkey Burgers?

First, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add the breadcrumbs a bit at a time to ensure the mix isn't too sticky. Less sticky bread holds up better in the freezer. If you use gluten-free breadcrumbs, they may dry fast, so how much GF breadcrumbs do you add?

Then, form the burgers.  This recipe makes 6 burgers.  I don't like my burgers too large, so 6 burgers make a good serving size.

At this point, to cook on the grill, spray one size with non-stick spray (Affiliate Link) and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-10 minutes, then turn over and cook for another 6-10 minutes or until done. Make sure there is no pink inside.
