Step 1

Start by heating up your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick brush with some oil so the burgers don’t stick. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, shredded cheese, diced poblano pepper, seasoned salt, and granulated onion. Mix everything together well until it’s evenly combined. Divide the mixture into four equal parts, then shape each one into a ball and gently press it down to form a patty. Place the patties on the grill and cook them for about 15 minutes, flipping once halfway through. You want to make sure the burgers are cooked all the way through—an instant-read thermometer should register at least 165°F in the center. Once they’re done, pile them onto buns and top with some mashed avocado for a delicious finishing touch.

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use lean ground turkey to keep the patties moist and tender.
- Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juiciness.
- Toast the buns lightly to add a bit of crunch and prevent sogginess.

Why you’ll love it

Serving ideas

Serve with fresh avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cilantro for added flavor. Pair it with a side of spicy black beans or a crisp corn salad to complete the meal.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep them moist. For longer storage, freeze patties individually and thaw before cooking.
