Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Roasted red pepper
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 4 pieces Brioche buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces Tomato slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about ¾ inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, cook the turkey patties for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from skillet and set aside to rest.

Step 4

While the patties are cooking, prepare the roasted red pepper mayonnaise. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red pepper, mayonnaise, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Step 5

Toast the brioche buns lightly in the skillet or on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until golden and warm.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous amount of the roasted red pepper mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey patty, a slice of tomato, and the top half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as fries or a fresh salad.
