steps
- 1.
Preheat your grill or stovetop griddle.
- 2.
In a bowl, mix the ground turkey, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Divide into 4 portions and shape them into burger patties.
- 3.
Grill the turkey patties until cooked through, around 4-6 minutes per side. Add a slice of feta cheese during the last minute of cooking and allow it to melt.
- 4.
While patties are cooking, slice the serrano peppers into thin rings. In a separate shallow bowl, mix the flour with a pinch of salt, then toss the pepper rings in the flour until coated.
- 5.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the serrano pepper rings until crispy and golden brown, around 2-3 minutes. Drain excess oil on a paper towel-lined plate.
- 6.
Toast the burger buns until lightly golden.
- 7.
Assemble the burgers with a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, red onion slice, turkey patty with melted feta cheese, and a generous serving of crispy serrano pepper rings. Optionally, add a drizzle of Sriracha or hot sauce for an extra kick.
