Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Prepare the Bacon: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy and golden brown (approximately 8-10 minutes). Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon and set aside, reserving 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.

02

Step
5 mins

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently combine the crumbled bacon, ground turkey, panko bread crumbs, shredded Cheddar cheese, finely chopped yellow onion, beaten egg, diced jalapeño, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough burgers.

03

Step
5 mins

Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into eight equal portions (approximately 4 ounces each). Gently form each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Ensure the patties are uniform in size for even cooking. (5 minutes)

04

Step
0 mins

Grill the Burgers: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.

05

Step
14 mins

Cook the Burgers: Place the turkey patties on the preheated grill. Cook for 7-10 minutes per side, or until the burgers are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a burger should read at least 165°F (74°C).

06

Step
0 mins

Serve: Remove the cooked turkey burgers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving on your favorite burger buns with your desired toppings.

For extra flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce or Dijon mustard to the burger mixture.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook these burgers in the skillet used for the bacon. Add a little olive oil to the reserved bacon fat if needed.
To prevent the burgers from drying out, avoid pressing down on them while they are cooking.
These turkey burgers are delicious served with avocado, lettuce, tomato, and a spicy mayo.
