JalapeƱo Cheddar Burgers (Turkey or Beef) are so delicious and super easy to make!
These burgers are made with favorites like cheese, mushrooms, onions and jalapeƱo to deliver a burger that is tender and juicy!
Your family will go wild for these burgers!
I LOVE Burgers! Ā Beef, turkey, pork… Ā I love them all! Ā Cheese, mushrooms, onions, jalapeƱo…. Ā there is almost nothing I don’t love on burgers!
These might be my absolute favorite turkey burgers of all time!! Ā The delicious jalapeƱoĀ cheddar filling in these burgers keeps lean meat juicy and tender while adding tons of flavor! Ā The burgers in the photo were made with turkey, but I have also done these with lean beef and they were equally delicious! Ā They can broiled in the oven or cooked on the grill!
If you prefer, you can purchase a stuffed burger press to get perfectly uniform stuffed burgers… Ā or you can just do them by hand. Either way, you won’t be disappointed with these delicious patties!Ā Ā

The description says ā These burgers are made with favorites like cheese, mushrooms, onions and jalapeƱo to deliver a burger that is tender and juicy!ā but I donāt see mushroom in the ingredients list or directions? Where would I add the mushroom because it sounds delicious?!
Hi Sabrina, you could add finely diced mushrooms to the cheese mixture in step 2, or top your burger with them once cooked. I think either would be delicious!
My husband and I tried these for lunch based on a recommendation from my sis-in-law. She assured me I would love them even though I consider myself to be a heat sensitive wimp. She was RIGHT! I followed the recipe as is, using beef. This one is a keeper as weāll definitely be having these again soon. Thank you for a great recipe!

ā¤ļø Thank you Katherine!
Wow! Made this tonight – quite possibly THE BEST burger I’ve ever grilled. Thanks for the great recipe!
Thanks! So happy to hear that Chris.
I made these last night my husband and son said best burgers EVER! I added garlic powder, onion powder, used pickled jalapeƱos, and added grilled onions. Next time think I will add guacamole that sounds delish. Thanks for sharingĀ
You’re welcome. Glad they loved them Maria!
These burgers were a huge hit! Everyone went back for more. We’ll definitely be saving this recipe to do again in the future.
I am so glad you loved them Marissa!
These burgers are excellent! Ā I topped with guacamole and homemade pico and wrapped in leaf lettuce instead of a bun or tortilla.Ā
Yum!
Loveloveloved it So cheesy.
Yes I made this recipe today for Sunday dinner I think it’s amazing and a picture to go along with
So why specifically can you not use lean ground turkey? I’m doing Keto but need to Limit my fat intake a bit due to NAFLD.
Oh. My. God. Making these every week!!
Made these tonight. They were a hit with my family! I didn’t pinch the meat closed enough so make sure you pinch it pretty tight around the edges then round it off. I made them with beef but next time I will do a beef/turkey mix. I also added cayenne powder to the cheese mixture and a small amount of onion and chili powder to the meat. It was AWESOME. THANKS FOR THE RECIPE! any idea what the nutrient info would be?
Just made these and I think you should alter the part when you add the cheese spread to burger patty. I did two batches. One as the directions say, the result was a burger that didn’t hold together, flavor was ok but hard to tell with it falling apart. Second batch I made 8 patties and put two together over the cheese .. held together way better and the overall burger was more enjoyable.
Jared,
Thanks for sharing your method. I will try that the next time I make these!
Killer burgers! For dinner again tonight.
Awesome! Glad you liked them!
Not impressed, the cream cheese taste was overwhelming, I did remove the seeds of the jalepano but I added a second so there would still be a bit of heat……could not taste heat at all.
Love the idea and will proprobably play with it a bit.
I do love the warm oozy cheese from the center of the burger.
