Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Wash, trim and finely chop one of the tomatoes, as if making salsa. Finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic.

  2. Step 2

    Wash, trim, seed and mince the jalapeno. Wash and finely chop the cilantro and parsley. Shred the mozzarella. Combine all these ingredients with the oil, ground turkey, salt and pepper, and shape into 6 patties.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a nonstick pan until it is medium-hot, and saute the patties until they are browned on both sides and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Slice the rolls, and put the turkey burgers on them, if desired.

  4. Step 4

    Wash, trim and thickly slice the tomatoes; serve with the burgers.

There is not a kitchen in the world where those burgers are safe to eat after 5-7 minutes. Also- I used 1/2 cup premade salsa to save time and hassle.
