Ingredients

  • ¼ pound bacon

  • 1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey

  • ½ cup bread crumbs

  • ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • cup finely chopped yellow onion

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool on a plate lined with paper towels. Crumble bacon.

  2. Mix bacon, turkey, bread crumbs, cheese, onion, egg, jalapeño, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Shape mixture into eight 1/4-pound patties.

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

  4. Cook turkey burgers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 7 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
