"Not that long ago the idea of making a burger with jalapenos on it
would have been rejected because of its limited appeal. But things
have changed dramatically in a fairly short time. Salsa is America's
favorite condiment, surpassing ketchup several years ago now."
-Brad Haley, Marketing Executive at Carl's Jr.
The refrigerator light goes on...
Venison is lovely and very lean so it makes great burgers. This is a
full quarter pound cheeseburger and only 313 calories and only 15 grams
fat. You can make this with extra lean ground beef but it won't have
quite the lovely wild flavor. Ground lamb makes a good burger as well
but ask the butcher to grind you some from the shoulder so that it is
very lean.
--> Poblano Chilies
These are peppers that range from very dark green to almost black. They
are mildly spicy, with a heat index of mild to medium. The darker chilies
have a more intense flavor. When the chili has been seeded but left whole,
it is called a capon and is ready for stuffing.
As the pepper matures, it turns a reddish brown. Dried poblanos are known
as Ancho chilies.

Cooking Time: 45 Min
Servings: 4
Serving size: 4 oz burger
2 small poblano peppers
1 jalapeno pepper
1 shallot (diced)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup cilantro leaves (chopped)
1 lb ground venison
1 egg white
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 oz reduced fat Monterrey jack cheese (shredded)
4 whole wheat or gluten-free hamburger buns
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the poblano peppers and the
jalapeno pepper in the oven. Roast for about 25 - 30 minutes. Turn once
or twice.
Remove the peppers from the oven an place in a paper bag to cool. When
they are cool the skins will slip off easily and then seed the peppers.
Cut the peeled and seeded poblanos into strips about 1/4 inch wide.
Set aside.
Mince the jalapeno pepper and add to a medium mixing bowl. Add the
shallot, cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, cilantro leaves,
venison, egg white and olive oil and mix together until well blended.
Let stand at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a large non-stick grill pan
in the oven while it is preheating.
While the oven is preheating form the venison into four burgers. Folding
the meat inside waxed paper helps you to make the burgers the right
thickness without sticking to the counter.
When the pan is hot place the burgers in to sear. Return the pan to
the oven. Cook for about 5 minutes on the first side.
While the burgers are cooking on the first side place the tops of the
hamburger buns cut side up on a cookie sheet. Divide the shredded
cheese between the tops of the hamburger buns and top the cheese with
the strips of roasted poblano chilies.
Place the sheet pan in the oven and then turn the burgers. Cook for
about 3 minutes on the other side for rare and longer for medium-rare
or medium.
Place the cooked burgers on the buns and serve.
Alternatively, these burgers can be cooked well on the barbeque grill.
Timing will be similar.
