Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 slices Pepper Jack cheese
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly but gently to avoid overworking the meat.

Step 2

Divide the turkey mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about ½ inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place the turkey patties on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of Pepper Jack cheese on each patty and close the grill lid to melt the cheese.

Step 5

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the sun-dried tomato mayonnaise. In a food processor, blend together the mayonnaise, sun-dried tomatoes, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.

Step 6

Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a skillet for about 1 minute, until lightly golden.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by spreading a generous amount of sun-dried tomato mayonnaise on the top half of each bun. Layer the bottom bun with fresh spinach leaves, followed by the Pepper Jack turkey patty, and finish with the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as sweet potato fries or a crisp salad.
