1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper Pinch cayenne pepper

Directions:

1. Place turkey meat and all ingredients in a bowl and mix well with your hands. (Use gloves if you have them as the chili powder may turn your hands red, won’t kill you though)
2. Form meat mixture into 10 equal amounts and form into patties
3. Pan saute the turkey burgers over medium high heat for about 7 minutes on each side until completely cooked all the way through. (This is poultry and it must be fully cooked)
