PEPPER - JACK TURKEY BURGERS

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.

CILANTRO TURKEY BURGERS WITH PEPPER JACK CHEESE AND AVOCADO

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.
