Stuffed Mexican Turkey Burgers: Homemade turkey burgers get a Mexican makeover that pack them with flavor. Wrap them in a cheesy quesadilla and top with guacamole to turn your meal into a fiesta!

Stuffed Mexican Turkey Burgers | A Latte FoodRemember when I told you that mint and chocolate are like cookies and milk? And that peanut butter and chocolate make the world a better place? Well, quesadillas used as hamburger buns is up there on the list of amazing combinations.

Fabulously cheesy quesadillas wrapped around  juicy burgers is an insanely good combination. So good, in fact, I had to share it today. I know I’m normally the first one in line for the dessert table and totally advocate the whole dessert-before-dinner thing, but today, dinner definitely comes first.

This is pure comfort food. Like grilled cheese. And mac and cheese. And pizza. And cheesy bread.

I’m pretty sure the definition of comfort food is cheesy goodness.

And this burger totally qualifies.

Stuffed Mexican Turkey Burgers | A Latte FoodSeriously burgerlicious.

I have forever and always been a burger fan. I love a classic cheeseburger with a huge helping of french fries. Throw in a milkshake and I’m pretty much ready to go Grease on all of you.

But, I’m a total fan of finding new ways to transform a burger.

And this one is a total fiesta.

You start with raw ground turkey, mix it with pico de gallo, taco seasoning, pepperjack cheese, bell peppers, and an egg (to bind it all together). Make four equal patties out of the meat, grill it, and wrap it in a grilled quesadilla. Top with guacamole, salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, and any other condiments your heart desires.

Aaaand you’re done.

Really. It takes no time at all to put together.
