Char-Grilled Turkey Burgers with Green Chiles

Char-Grilled Turkey Burgers with Green Chiles deliver a gently smoky bite with roasted chile warmth, bright cilantro, and a hint of cumin and oregano. Monterey Jack melts over the patties for a creamy finish that balances the mild heat from jalapeño. Ideal for casual weeknight dinners or weekend cookouts when you want something lighter yet richly flavored.

Char-Grilled Turkey Burgers with Green Chiles
  1. 1

    Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the turkey, onion, chilies, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno pepper, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper; gently mix until just combined. Shape the mixture into four 1/4-pound burgers.

  3. 3

    Grill on the preheated grill until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  4. 4

    Remove from the heat, place Monterey Jack cheese slices on top, and tent with aluminum foil until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
