Ingredients

• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 tablespoons minced onion
• 1 large clove garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
• 1 tablespoon minced green onion
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
• 2 slices pepperjack cheese, cut into quarters

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix the ground turkey, garlic, onion, red bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Divide the mixture into 8 small patties. Place two of the pepperjack cheese quarters onto each of 4 of the patties; top with the remaining 4 patties so the cheese is in the center. Press along the edges of the burgers to seal.

Step 2

Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers in the skillet until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes per side.
