Jalapeno Cheddar Burgers (Turkey or Beef)
Description
This recipe creates stuffed burgers by mixing finely minced onions, salt, and pepper into ground beef or turkey, then shaping the meat around a cheese filling made from cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and diced jalapeño with seeds included or removed for heat preference. The filled burgers are brushed with olive oil before cooking.
Cooking over medium heat on a grill or under a broiler, the burgers develop a cooked exterior while keeping the cheese melted inside, delivering a combination of juicy meat with creamy, slightly spicy center. Proper internal temperatures (165°F for turkey, 160°F for beef) should be reached to ensure doneness.
These burgers can be served on hamburger buns with preferred toppings and sides, making a flavorful option for outdoor or indoor meals.
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ pounds ground beef or ground turkey, lean
- 2 tablespoons onion finely minced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 jalapeño diced, seeds removed if you prefer less spice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Hamburger Bun
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium or oven to broil on high.
- In a small bowl combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder and diced jalapeno.
- Combine meat, salt & pepper and minced onion. Divide meat into 4 even pieces (7oz each). Take ¼ of the cream cheese mixture and flatten it into a pancake shape. Wrap beef or turkey around the cheese ensuring the cheese mixture is completely covered. Brush each burger with a little bit of olive oil.
To Grill
- Grill burgers over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each side or until completely cooked. (Turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees and beef should reach 160°F.)
To Broil
- Place burgers on a foil covered pan approximately 6" from the broiler. Broil 5-6 minutes on each side or until completely cooked. (Turkey should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees and beef should reach 160°F.)
Notes
- Nutritional information excludes hamburger buns and is an estimate that may vary based on ingredient brands and methods.
- Both turkey and beef options require safe internal cooking temperatures: 165°F for turkey and 160°F for beef.
