Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, jalapeno, cumin, garlic, parmesan cheese, and chili powder. Mix gently with your hands—but do not over mix.
Form the ground turkey mixture into 6-ounce burger patties (roughly ¾-inch thick).
Heat your grill and grease the burgers lightly with cooking spray.
Cook the burgers on each side until charred, roughly 4-5 minutes per side (or until the internal temperature reaches roughly 165 degrees Fahrenheit).
Top each burger with 1 ounce of pepper jack cheese, close grill top and cook until the cheese has just melted. Remove and allow the burgers for rest for several minutes.
Meanwhile, grill or toast buns lightly, if desired.
Top with guacamole, more jalapenos, and other toppings.
Enjoy!
