Pepper Jack Turkey Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Chop your garlic and veggies.
• Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat until crisp. Wipe excess grease from pan and return skillet to heat.
• While bacon cooks, combine turkey meat, garlic, shallot or onion, thyme, cilantro or parsley, bell pepper, serrano or jalapeno pepper, cumin, hot pepper sauce, grill seasoning or salt and pepper. Divide mixture into 4 equal mounds then form meat into patties. Drizzle patties with vegetable oil to coat. Cook in skillet over medium high heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Place sliced cheese over the patties in the last 2 minutes of cooking, use 1 or 2 slices for each patty, as you like.
• Pile cooked cheeseburgers into buns. Spread sweet relish or jelly on bun tops and set red leaf lettuce into place, using the relish or jelly as glue. Top cheeseburgers with 2 slices of cooked, crisp bacon or turkey bacon and lettluce. Then serve with tortilla chips, tossed salad and/or spicy o-nuts.

Steps:

• Cook and stir onions and garlic in large nonstick skillet on medium heat 3 to 4 min. or until crisp-tender. Add to turkey, beans, corn and seasonings in medium bowl; mix just until blended. Shape into 8 (1/2-inch thick) patties.
• Cook, in batches, in skillet 8 to 10 min. on each side or until done (165ºF), topping with cheese for the last 2 min.
• Serve on buns topped with tomatoes and avocados.

Steps:

• Combine the minced shallot, soy sauce, Worcestershire, ketchup, coarse pepper, garlic powder, cumin and paprika in a large mixing bowl.
• Add ground turkey and mix well, but do not mash the meat to oblivion (no one likes tough turkey!)
• Stir in the Monterey Jack to evenly distribute.
• Shape into 4 patties, indenting the centres of each to fix the "burger bulge" (when they poof as they cook).
• Grill or broil until cooked through, about 6 minutes a side.
• Top each patty with 2 slices of cooked turkey bacon and serve on toasted buns.

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together turkey, cilantro, garlic, Worcestershire, paprika, cumin, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper, until combined. Form into 4 patties.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet to medium-high heat; coat with the oil. Add burgers and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to 170 degrees and no longer pink in the center. Place cheese slices on top of burgers and cover or tent with aluminum foil to melt cheese.
• Place burgers on buns and top with avocado slices (1/4 of the avocado per person), jalapenos (if using), and tomatoes.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking on high heat.
• Mix jalapeno pepper, garlic, onion and ground beef in bowl.
• Separate beef mixture into about 7 equal bundles.
• Place a thick slice of pepper jack cheese into center of each beef bundle (about the size of a thick butter pat). Form bundles into patties.
• Brush grill grate with oil.
• Grill hamburger patties 5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
• Remove burgers from grill; top with more pepper jack cheese.
• Let rest on serving plate for 5 minutes.
• Serve on toasted buns with condiments of your choice.
