Equipment
- 1 grill
Ingredients
Burger:
- 1 lb. Ground Turkey
- Salt and Pepper
- 4 Slices of Cheese Monterey jack
- 4 Peaches
Peach Mix:
- 1/2 cup of Fresh Blueberries
- 1/4 Tsp Chili Powder
- 4 large slices of Garlic Bread
- Freshly Plucked Mint Leaves
Instructions
- Take one peach and chop it into tiny, little bits.
- Then mix it together with the turkey and seasoning. You are now ready to shape into patties: 4 x 1⁄2” thick.
- Set your grill to med–high and pop the patties onto a rack directly over the heat. Cook until there is no pink sections left inside; internal temp 165°F (roughly 5 min/side).
- While you wait for the meat to cook, locate the other three peaches and chop them coarsely (but neatly). Get the blueberries, chili powder and peaches cooking on medium until they are nicely warmed; this will be just as the juices start to appear (5 min).
- When the patties are ready, put the cheese on top, cover and cook on the grill again until it has melted just a bit (1 min).
- Assembling:
- 1st Layer: Garlic bread
- 2nd Layer: Turkey burger with melted cheese
- 3rd Layer: Chili–peach mix
- 4th Layer: A little mint leaf or two
- Final Layer: If you like, sprinkle a light dusting of chili powder over the lot to garnish.
- Enjoy!
