Ingredients
•
1 pound lean ground turkey
•
1/4 cup minced sweet onion
•
1 (4 ounce) can mild chopped green chilies
•
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
•
1 large clove garlic, minced
•
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
•
1 teaspoon ground cumin
•
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
•
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste

4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2
Combine turkey, onion, chilies, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno pepper, cumin, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; gently mix until combined. Form into four 1/4-pound burgers.
3
Cook on the preheated grill until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the burgers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Remove from the heat, add Monterey Jack cheese slices, and tent with aluminum foil until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
