Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 jalapeno peppers, finely diced
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 hamburger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
- optional condiments (mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix together gently with your hands until evenly seasoned, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Divide the turkey mixture into 8 equal portions and flatten each into a thin patty about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapenos.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheddar and jalapeno mixture onto the center of 4 of the patties, leaving a small border around the edges.
Place the remaining 4 patties on top of the stuffed patties and press the edges together tightly to seal. Make sure there are no openings or the cheese may leak out while cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or on a grill over medium heat.
Cook the stuffed turkey burgers for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the burgers reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are fully cooked through.
Toast the hamburger buns lightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing each cooked patty on a bun, topped with lettuce, tomato slices, and any optional condiments of your choice.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Jalapeno and Cheddar Stuffed Turkey Burgers!
