Jalapeno Popper Turkey Burgers | Lite Cravings | WW Recipes (2024)

Serve these Jalapeno Popper Turkey Burgers to people who think they don’t like turkey, and watch them fall in love! The combo of cream cheese, bacon, and jalapenos make an incredibly flavorful burger that is low in points.

This was one of the first recipes I posted to this blog, so it was in need of a revamp.

When I first started, I didn’t add much description to the recipes. And my pictures were awful! I’m not saying I’m the best food photographer now, but I like to think I’ve at least stepped up my game a bit.

Since first posting, these Jalapeno Popper Turkey Burgers have become one of my most popular recipes!

You can’t go wrong with the hybrid of a super juicy turkey burger and one of the best appetizers around–jalapeno poppers.

Adjust the spice level for your tastes

I like that you can make this mild or super hot, depending on how many jalapeno seeds you decide to add to the final product.

We love spice around here, so I typically add all of the seeds. It has a great kick without being overly spicy (to me, anyway). If you’re sensitive to spice, think about cutting back on the jalapeno.

Another option to to omit the jalapenos all together and use a much milder pepper, like poblano or even bell pepper. You’ll still get that great pepper flavor and texture without the spice.

How to serve jalapeno popper Turkey Burgers

As you can see, this makes a HUGE patty. I’ve eaten these as a lettuce wrap because they are so filling, but it’s also nice to splurge on a fluffy brioche bun (as pictured) since the burgers are so low in points.

I’ve also seen a lot of people use a low-carb wrap, like Cut Da Carb, to keep the points lower.

If you’re thinking of making these for a crowd, try turning them into sliders instead! I did this for a party, and it was a huge hit. I made the recipe into eight servings, which cut the points for each burger in half (2 SP for Green; 1 SP for Blue or Purple).
