Ingredients

8 servings

4 mini sweet peppers (roasted, chopped)
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
1 egg
1/4 cup red onion (chopped)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons rub ({use your favorite})
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
Dash of salt and pepper
8 slices pepper jack cheese
8 Hamburger Buns (King's Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet)
2 Avocados (seed removed)
1/3 cup red onion (finely chopped)
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1 lime (juiced)
A few pinches of salt

Method

1
Heat the grill to high heat.
2
In a large mixing bowl combine the ground turkey, egg, red onion, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, olive oil, cilantro, salt and pepper. Use hands to combine everything together.
3
Form the ground turkey mixture into 3 to 3 1/2 oz. turkey burger patties and set on a large platter.
4
Before grilling the turkey burgers make your guacamole by putting the avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice and salt in a molcajete or medium bowl and mash the ingredients together until combined. Set aside.
5
Lightly oil your grill so the turkey burgers don't stick to it. Place the turkey burger patties on the hottest part of the grill and cook for 2 minutes on each side, so the turkey burgers get a nice sear on them.
6
Move them to the cooler part of the grill and cook for another 8-10 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through. When you flip the turkey burgers the second time add the mini sweet peppers.
7
Grill the sweet peppers for 4 minutes on one side and then flip and grill the other side of the peppers. When the turkey burgers are done grilling add the pepper jack cheese and let the burgers sit for two minutes so the cheese can melt.
8
Remove the peppers from the grill and slice into small strips. Place the turkey burger on the bottom of the bun; place the sliced mini sweet peppers on top of the pepper jack cheese. Spread the guacamole on the top half of the bun and close the bun.
