Inspired by my favorite dish (nachos!), these burgers are perfectly juicy and cheesy.  The flavor is spot on but these are a heck of a lot healthier than the original.  If you’re looking for more of a flavor-punch, substitute extra sharp cheddar cheese or add a few tsp of minced jalapeños.  If you don’t have a grill pan any old saute pan will do, you just won’t have those fun marks.

Yield: 8 small burgers; Prep Time: 10 minutes; Cook Time: 30 minutes

• 1 lb 94% fat-free ground turkey
• 1 large egg
• 60 grams crushed tortilla chips
• 1/4 cup medium, chunky style salsa
• 3/4 cup Mexican shredded cheese blend
• 1 tsp evoo
• 8 hamburger buns
• guacamole (optional)
• sliced cheddar (optional)
• hot sauce (optional)

1. In a large bowl, combine turkey, egg, chips, salsa, and cheese until a homogenous mixture is achieved.  Use your hands to shape into 8 equal-sized patties.
2. Heat evoo in a grill-pan over medium-high heat.  Working in small enough batches as to not overcrowd the pan add patties to pan.
3. Cook burgers until browned and fully cooked through; 5-8 minutes on each side.
4. Serve cooked burgers and top as desired.
