Jalapeño Cheddar Turkey Burgers are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic burger. By using ground turkey instead of beef, you get a leaner protein-packed patty that’s full of flavor thanks to the addition of zesty jalapeños and melty cheddar cheese. These burgers are perfect for summer grilling or a quick and easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pound ground turkey
  • ½ cup finely diced onion (white, red, or yellow)
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
  • ½ to 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 hamburger buns

Instructions

1. 1. Start by heating a grill or skillet to medium-high heat.

2. 2. In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, cumin, paprika, lime juice, cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients together until they’re just combined – don’t overmix!

3. 3. Divide the turkey mixture into 6 evenly-sized patties, shaping them with your hands to create uniform burgers.

4. 4. Grill or cook the patties for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches a safe 165°F.

5. 5. Toast the buns if desired, then top the cooked turkey patties with guacamole, cheese slices, tomato, and lettuce. Serve immediately for maximum enjoyment.

Notes

Choose ground turkey with a higher fat content to prevent drying out.

Season generously with salt and black pepper.

Monitor cooking closely to avoid overcooking.

Brush patties with olive oil or melted butter before cooking for juiciness.
