Serves 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 poblano chiles (about 1/2 pound)
- 1/2 ounce French bread baguette
- 1/8 cup 1% low-fat milk
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 1/2 pound ground turkey breast
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoons canola mayonnaise
- 2 (1 1/2-ounce) hamburger buns, toasted

Directions

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Cut poblanos in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membranes. Place poblanos, skin sides down, on grill rack; grill 10 minutes or until blackened. Place poblanos in a small zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and dice.
-
Place bread in a food processor; pulse 5 times or until coarse crumbs measure 1/2 cup. Combine breadcrumbs and milk in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Add 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, cumin, and next 4 ingredients (through turkey); gently mix just until combined. Divide turkey mixture into 4 equal portions; shape each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Place patties on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes on each side or until done.
-
Combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon chili powder and mayonnaise. Top bottom half of each bun with 1 tomato slice, 1 lettuce leaf, 1 patty, about 1 1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise mixture, and 1 bun top.
