Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound lean ground turkey (divided equally 4 ways and formed into patties)
  • 1 Tablespoon ground coffee beans
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (finely ground)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Instruction

  • In a spice grinder, food processor, or using a mortar & pestle, combine all of the spices. (If you don’t have any of those tools, place the spices into a zip-top plastic bag and close the top. Use a rolling pin to crush and blend the spices together.
  • Liberally apply the seasoning blend to both sides of each patty. Rub the spices in so that it will form a nice crust when you cook it.
  • The burgers can be grilled, fried in a pan, or even cooked under a broiler. Be sure to use proper food safety practices by cooking them until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 163 degrees for optimal safety.
