1 pound lean ground turkey (500g)
1/4 cup dry breadcumbs (50ml)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon tex mex spice blend (5ml)
pinch each salt and pepper (pinch each)
1 tablespoon canola oil (15ml)
4 burger buns

2 tablespoons each finely chopped green onion and red pepper (30ml each)
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley or cilantro (15ml)

Crumble ground turkey into a bowl and combine with breadcrumbs. Lightly whisk egg with Tex Mex Spice, salt and pepper, and gently mix with ground turkey, using your hands if necessary. Divide mixture into 2 portions.
Shape mixture into 1/2-inch/1 cm thick patties - 2 for adults and 2 for kids, or make 4 mini patties for the children.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5-8 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and no longer pink inside.
Top burgers with grated cheese, if using, during the last few minutes of cooking. Serve cooked patties on burger buns with lettuce leaves, tomato and onion slices, if desired.
Makes 4 servings
Tip: If making mini burgers for the kids, use mini buns or pita pockets in place of standard hamburger buns.
