Servings: persons

1 1/3 lbs ground turkey breast
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large shallots or 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (I usually add a bit more as I'm a cilantro lover)
1/2 small bell pepper, any color, seeded and finely chopped
1 serrano peppers or 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 -2 teaspoon hot sauce
2 teaspoons McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
olive oil, for drizzling
4 cheese slices
4 kaiser rolls

1
Chop your garlic and veggies. I throw all mine in my food processor and it makes easy work of this step.
2
Combine all ingredients through grill seasoning.
3
Divide mixture into 4 equal patties. Drizzle patties with olive oil to coat. Cook on grill or in skillet over med-high heat until done. (I've found that the veggies make this so moist that they're hard to overcook, although you'll still want to keep an eye on them).
4
Place sliced cheese over the patties the last two minutes of cooking.
5
OPTIONAL (but worth it): Slather with Black Bean Spread/Dip with Lime and Cilantro (recipe posted after this one). Enjoy the rest of the dip with tortilla chips with your burger.
