Turkey Burger with Pepper Jack Cheese

If you haven't guessed already that I don't eat red meat, well I haven't for a very long time... try 16 years. Ground chicken and turkey meat are the next best thing - with added health benefits and nutrition, its worth the switch for a delectable alternative. I have been experimenting with recipes for both chicken and turkey meats and I like this combination the best!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 Lbs. Fresh ground Turkey (97/3 lean)
1/4 Cup of Italian bread crumbs
1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
2 Dashes of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 Tbs. Garlic Salt
1/2 Tbs. Onion Salt

1 Egg
Pinch of Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 Slices Pepper jack cheese
6 Sesame seeded hamburger buns, Split and lightly toasted

Directions:
Preheat the grill to high. Mix all dry and wet ingredients together in a large bowl and combine mixed ingredients with ground turkey meat. Form the meat into 6 patties. Season the burgers lightly on both sides with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. During the last minutes of cooking add 2 slices of cheese to each burger, cover the grill and let the cheese soften slightly, approximately 1 minute. Now, that's what I call a BURGER!
