Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground turkey, preferably a blend of thigh and breast meat
  • 1/2 cup minced red onion
  • 1/4 cup minced green onion, green parts only
  • 1 or 2 serrano peppers, minced, to taste
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon hot paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions
