Cheddar stuffed cilantro jalepeno turkey burgers with cilantro cream --mucho spicy!



That is a mouthfull and so are these burgers! These are so great!!! I got the ground turkey from Wegmans. We like things very spicy, but if you dont, the burgers and sauce can be tailored---take the seeds out of the jalepenos or use less.

Burgers:
1 lb ground turkey
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 Jalepeno, finely chopped
1 C fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp ancho chili powder
salt and pepper
8 cubes colby cheese

Cilantro Cream Sauce:
1 Jalepeno, chopped
1 C sour cream
zest and juice of 1 lime
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 C fresh cilantro

Process all ingredients for cilantro cream sauce in blender or food processor. Cover, and refrigerate.
Mix all ingredients for burgers, excpet colby cheese, in a bowl. Form into 4 burger patties. Place 2 cheese cubes on each burger and fold over and re form into patties. Grill or cook in pan until done. We cooked in pan and they took about 4 min each side. Serve on toasted buns (we used english muffins) with american cheese and cilantro cream sauce. Please comment if you like!

Wow. We made these last night and they were so delicious. We made them on the grill. I did leave the jalepeno out of the cilantro cream to protect our mouths, but they were perfect. I've posted about them on my blog and linked to you. Thanks!
