Ground turkey burgers stuffed with pepper jack cheese and then grilled over charcoal. Then we top these glorious cheese stuffed grilled turkey burgers with a corn relish and fresh avocado. Just a few simple tricks take these glorious burgers to the next level.
The Grillin’ Fools are indeed huge fans of the iconic hamburger. Further we like taking the classic and making it into something a little different like this MOINK Burger (that’s moo+oink). Or these Big Mac tacos (what if a taco and a Big Mac had a baby?). Or this insane smash burger. And here’s a Greek turkey burger.

Combine the ground turkey, taco seasoning, black beans, jalapenos, red onion, and queso crumbles in a large mixing bowl and form the mixture into 6 thin patties:
Then place one ounce of the pepper Jack cheese into the center of 3 of the patties:
Then place the remaining three patties on top, sealing the edges to make 3 burgers. Place the burgers in the refrigerator until ready to grill.
Make the Grilled Turkey Burgers
Grill the burgers for about four minutes on each side, flipping carefully halfway through:
Be sure to bring the turkey to a temperature of 165F internally.
Make sure to toast the buns while grilling the burgers.
Finally, remove the burgers from the grill and place them on a toasted bun with the street corn relish, chopped tomatoes and sliced avocado:
Serve immediately:
Corn Relish Directions:
Peel the husks back on the corn and remove the silks.
Place the corn on the grill and char for about three minutes on each side. Carefully remove the corn from the heat and allow it to cool for about five minutes before removing the kernels and placing them into a large mixing bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients for the relish and stir to combine:
Cover the relish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Cheese Stuffed, Grilled Turkey Burgers topped with Corn Relish and fresh Avocado Summary
This burger is absolutely heaven. It’s got a little heat from the jalapeno, and sweet crisp flavor from the corn relish, the creaminess from the cheese and the avocado. Don’t forget that toasted bun. It really takes any burger to another level.
