Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ pounds ground turkey breast

  • ¾ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

  • ½ green poblano pepper, diced

  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt (such as Santa Maria-style)

  • 1 tablespoon granulated onion

  • 4 hamburger buns, split

  • 2 avocados, mashed

Directions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. Mix together ground turkey, shredded cheese, poblano pepper, seasoned salt, and granulated onion in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Divide mixture into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a ball and press into a burger shape.

  3. Place burgers on the preheated grill and cook, flipping once halfway through, until no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve on hamburger buns topped with mashed avocado.

Cook's Note:

The heat in the burger can be turned up or down by varying the amount of green pepper (or any kind of spicy pepper) you add to the mixture.
