Stuffed Turkey Burgers
These turkey burgers are stuffed with cheese and roasted red peppers, adding awesome flavor and keeping them nice and juicy!
Servings: 4 burgers
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ lbs. lean ground turkey breast
- ½ cup jarred roasted red peppers, chopped
- 2 oz. good melting cheese, like jalapeño Havarti
- Salt & pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- Your favorite burger toppings, like lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, etc.
Instructions
- Divide turkey into 4 equal portions. Take each portion and divide it in half to make 2 thin patties so you have 8 total.
- Top 4 of the patties with ½ oz. cheese and 2 Tbsp. roasted red peppers each, leaving a ½ inch border around the outside. Top with the remaining patties and pinch the edges together to tightly seal into 4 stuffed patties.
- Season with salt and pepper, and grill until cooked through - about 4-5 minutes per side. Top with your favorite burger toppings and dig in!
Notes
I recommend using ground turkey that has not been previously frozen for this recipe. I have found that turkey that has been frozen and thawed loses some of its firmness and makes it harder to form the thin patties & stuff the burgers without them falling apart when cooked.
