Perfect for a party, barbecue, or a simple dinner, these paleo turkey burgers are stuffed with peppers and southwest flavor. Served with spicy chipotle mayo, they are out of this world! So simple and delicious!
Burger night is a favorite in our house, and these turkey burgers are packed with flavor! They are simple to make, so you can have dinner on the table in no time. 😉
While I love a good beef burger, I can only eat so many beef burgers without getting a liiittle tired of them. Turkey burgers are a great way to mix things up, and these Paleo Turkey Burgers are so flavorful! I simply used lean ground turkey and mixed in some fresh peppers. The result is fabulous! Serve these on homemade paleo buns for extra goodness.
How do you keep turkey burgers from falling apart?
This can be tricky, but in general I love using egg to bind things together. It makes a big difference and keeps the burgers from falling apart.
Keeping moisture to a minimum is important as well, so I’ve added some coconut flour to absorb the liquid from the pureed peppers.
Another tactic is to make sure the burgers are not too thin, as they tend to fall apart easier. Thicker burgers are the way to go when you’re working with turkey!

You can’t have a burger without fries, right? Here are some of my favorite ways to have fries:
Another option would be to serve this with soup! I love these burgers paired with paleo Tomato Soup. So delicious!

Oh my gosh – those dinner rolls!! I think I would eat a piece of leather if you put it in one of those dinner rolls! Luckily, the turkey sliders also look amazing and the leather isn’t necessary : )

Haha, yes the sliders are great, no leather necessary 🙂
