These easy turkey burgers are extra juicy and loaded with flavor. I think the spicy jalapenos give it just the right level of heat, but feel free to adjust the amount to amp it up or tone it down. —Wanda Allende, Orlando, Florida

Health Tip: You may be tempted to use ground turkey breast in this recipe. Don’t! The patties are pretty simple, and they need the extra fat to keep them tender and juicy and to keep them from crumbling.

Test Kitchen Tips

Handle the turkey mixture gently for tender burgers.

If you aren't a fan of Swiss, try these with provolone.

Some jalapenos are spicier than others. Taste a slice before adding them as a topping.

Peppers (Hot)

Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
