My Famous Southwest Turkey Burgers

Ingredients
1 package ground turkey breast

1 rounded tablespoon chili powder

2 teaspoons cumin
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped

sliced monetary jack cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
handful of cilantro leaves, chopped

sliced avocado, tomato, any other toppings you prefer

Directions
Preheat grill.
Combine ground turkey, chili powder, ground cumin, jalapeño, garlic, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and mix everything together with your hands. Score the meat with the side of your hand to separate into 4 equal amounts. Form mixture into 4 large patties no more than 1-inch thick. Place on a hot grill and cook 5-6 minutes on each side or until turkey is cooked through. Melt cheese on top.
Combine the sour cream and chopped cilantro, salt and pepper in a small bowl for topping.

Also top with avocado slices, tomato, or anything you like on your burger!
