2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup onion (peeled, small dice)
1 red bell pepper (top removed, small dice)
1 jalapeno (top removed, seeded, minced)
1 and 1/2 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 cloves garlic (peeled, minced)
1 tablespoons tomato paste
1 and 1/2 pounds ground turkey (50/50)
1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans (drained, rinsed, lightly mashed)
4 Brioche rolls (toasted, to serve)
1 cup cheddar cheese (grated, to serve)
1 avocado (peeled, pitted, sliced, to serve)
1 recipe Hot Sauce Sour Cream (to serve)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper (to taste)
Hot Sauce Sour Cream :
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons hot sauce
Directions:
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a medium saute pan, warm olive oil. Add onion, red pepper, jalapeno, cumin, chili powder, dried thyme and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture has softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and tomato paste, stir to combine and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
In a large bowl, add turkey, beans, and cooled vegetable mixture. Mix with hands until mixture is fully combined. Divide mixture into 4 mounds and gently form each mound into a patty. Season with salt and pepper.
Place patties on grill and cook, flipping halfway, for about 5-6 minutes per side or until turkey is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165ºF. During the last minute of cooking, divide cheese evenly amongst patties, and allow to melt.
To serve: Transfer patties to bottom buns and garnish each with avocado and hot sauce sour cream. Top with bun and serve.
For the Hot Sauce Sour Cream:
In a small bowl, add sour cream and hot sauce. Stir to combine and serve.
