We all know the saying, “if you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen!” Well, one particular Home Chef customer sure can handle the heat! We present to you the Jalapeño Popper Burger, the Customer Burger Showdown winner created by Jessica Usher. This scorcher pops with flavor and heat, featuring jalapeños two ways and a tangy chipotle mayo that will leave your taste buds sizzling for more. Tip: Easier way to mince cilantro? Gather them all in one hand and lay on the cutting board. Use your knife in rocking motion to cut, then turn 90 degrees and repeat until the herbs are properly minced!

-
If using ground turkey, follow same instructions as ground beef in Steps 3 and 4, cooking until turkey reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 6-8 minutes per side.
