Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup finely chopped white onion
• 5 hamburger buns
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1.25 pounds ground turkey
• 0.125 teaspoon chili powder
• 1.5 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard, divided
• 0.25 cup finely chopped jalapeno

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat; cook and stir the ground turkey, using the back of a wooden spoon to work the meat into small crumbles as it cooks. When the meat is about half browned, stir in the onion, garlic, and black pepper; cook and stir until the turkey is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink.

Step 2

Stir in 1 tablespoon of the prepared mustard, the cayenne pepper, chili powder, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, stirring, until the water has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Stir in the remaining mustard and the chopped jalapeno, and cook until heated through, about 5 more minutes. Spoon the mixture onto the hamburger buns.
