Steps:
- Start the barbecue or preheat the grill.
- Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the onion, garlic and red bell pepper for 2-3 minutes. Allow to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl put the ground turkey, cream cheese, breadcrumbs, fresh basil and cheddar cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the pepper and onions and mix well.
- Divide the mixture into four and shape into burgers. If you have time, cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to let the flavours blend (I skipped this step to save time).
- Place a sheet of foil over the barbecue or grill, or use a baking sheet if preferred- because these burgers are made from a low fat meat, they can break up if not handled carefully, so the foil helps them to stay together. Handle and flip them with care.
- Place the burgers on the barbecue or under a grill, on the foil or baking sheet.
- Cook for 15 minutes, flipping regularly.
- If using a barbecue, remove the foil at this point- after 15 minutes- so the burgers pick up the chargrilled flavour in the next 10 minutes.
- Cook for a further 10 minutes (whether using a barbeque or a grill) or until completely cooked through.
- Prepare the rolls and serve the burgers with lettuce, tomato or your favourite toppings.
CHEESY MEXICAN TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:
- Start the barbecue or preheat the grill.
- Remove the core and seeds from the tomato and finely dice the flesh.
- In a bowl, add to the tomato: the turkey, mexican cheese, paprika and fresh coriander. Mix well.
- Divide the mixture into four and shape into burgers. If you have time, cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to let the flavours blend.
- Place a sheet of foil over the barbecue or grill, or use a baking sheet if preferred- because these burgers are made from a low fat meat, they can break up if not handled carefully, so the foil helps them to stay together. Handle and flip them with care.
- Place the burgers on the barbecue or under a grill, on the foil or baking sheet.
- Cook for 15 minutes, flipping regularly.
- If using a barbecue, remove the foil at this point- after 15 minutes- so the burgers pick up the chargrilled flavour in the next 10 minutes.
- Cook for a further 10 minutes (whether using a barbeque or a grill) or until completely cooked through.
- Serve with salsa if desired, on burger buns, Mexican rice, or whatever takes your fancy!
Tips:
- Use a lean ground turkey. This will help to keep the burgers moist and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Add some bread crumbs or oats to the turkey mixture. This will help to bind the burgers together and make them easier to form.
- Don't overmix the turkey mixture. Overmixing can make the burgers tough.
- Season the turkey mixture generously. This will help to give the burgers flavor.
- Form the burgers into patties that are about 3/4 inch thick. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the burgers. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep the juices in the burgers.
Conclusion:
Cheesy turkey burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you grill them, pan-fry them, or bake them, cheesy turkey burgers are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
