Juicy Lucy (Stuffed Turkey Cheeseburgers)
Savor the flavor of these mouthwatering Turkey Cheeseburgers, affectionately referred to as Juicy Lucys! These burgers are not only simple to make, but they also pack a delightful surprise. Rather than placing cheese on top, we tuck it right inside the patty, ensuring it melts beautifully and creates a gooey center that you’ll love.

Ingredients
- 4 slices part-skim cheddar cheese slices
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 Iceburg lettuce
- red onion
- ripe tomatoes
- sliced pickles
- ketchup and mustard
- black pepper
- 4 hamburger rolls
- 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your grill to a medium setting. Make sure to clean the grates thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to prevent sticking.
- 2
Take each cheese slice and fold it into quarters, forming 4 compact stacks.
- 3
Portion the ground turkey into 8 equal pieces, then flatten each piece into patties that are approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- 4
Place a cheese stack in the middle of 4 of the patties, then cover them with the remaining 4 patties. Firmly pinch the edges to seal them, and gently push up the sides to ensure they're uniformly thick. Season both surfaces generously with salt and black pepper.

Position the patties on the greased grill and cover. Cook for about 6 minutes on each side over medium heat, or until the interior is fully cooked. Once done, transfer the burgers to buns with your choice of toppings, allowing them to cool slightly before taking a bite to avoid burning your mouth.
