Ingredients
  • 2 poblano chiles (about ½ pound)
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup 1% low-fat milk
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 pound ground turkey breast
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons canola mayonnaise
  • 4 (1½-ounce) hamburger buns, toasted
  • 4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices tomato
  • 4 green leaf lettuce leaves
  • Preparation
Instructions
  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, cut poblanos in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place skin sides down on the grill rack; let cook 10 minutes or until blackened.
  2. Place poblanos in a small zip-top plastic bag and seal. Let stand 15 minutes as the peppers continue to steam. Peel and dice.
  3. Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add ¼ teaspoon chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, red pepper and turkey and mix gently until just combined, using either your hands or a wooden spoon.
  4. Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions; shape each portion into a ½-inch-thick patty. Place patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes on each side or until done.
  5. Combine remaining ¼ teaspoon chili powder and mayonnaise. Top bottom half of each bun with 1 tomato slice, 1 lettuce leaf, 1 patty, about 1½ teaspoons mayonnaise mixture, and 1 bun top.
