Stuffed Turkey Burgers
"This is my attempt at low carb. I add more than 1 pepper because I like it spicey. You can replace the pepper with 2 to 3 tablespoons of chopped canned chilies or chopped canned chipotles en adobo or omit altogether. Top with salsa if desired."

I was looking for another good recipe with turkey, and found this, i made some changes due to my tastes, so I sauteed chopped onions, yellow peppers and diced green chili's mixed into the turkey then split as it said into 8 patties, layered swiss cheese on 4 and covered wtih the remaining patties. AND... to quote Guy, "this was off the hook!' cooked until done, lettuce and tomatoe on buns served with homemade french fries and coleslaw. THANKS! A keeper -
These are terrific! The jalapeno and olives add just enough flavor to the meat, and the cheese is a nice surprise buried inside too. I will be making these again! -
We both enjoyed this plump burger. Tried the chipotle version and because I had it, used pepper jack cheese. I'm guessing it took just 1 or 2 minutes longer than a normal burger to cook.

Fantastic burgers! Nice and juicy. I wasn't sure how I would like the olives added- but they were great. They give the meat a little "oomph" and keep it from tasting bland, as turkey sometimes does. We all enjoyed this. Thanks for posting!
