 Categories: Poultry, Cheese, Breads, Fruits
      Yield: 4 Servings

  1 1/4 lb Lean ground turkey
      1 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper
      1 ts Dried parsley
      1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
      1 tb Milk
      2 tb Butter; more for cooking
      5 sl Sharp Cheddar or horseradish
           - Cheddar (1 oz ea)
      4    Hawaiian hamburger buns
      2    Firm-ripe avocadoes; thin
           - sliced
           Mayonnaise or other burger
           - toppings (pickles, lettuce
           - tomato, mustard)

  The secret to keeping lean turkey juicy as a burger? Adding fat.
  The burgers in this recipe, stuffed with cheese and a bit of
  butter, are moist, flavorful and, best of all, hold together and
  flip easily.

  Combine the turkey, salt, pepper and parsley in a large bowl and
  mix with a fork or clean hands to season evenly. Add the egg and
  milk and stir to combine.

  Divide the meat into four portions with damp hands and gently pack
  into four round patties, about 3/4" thick. (It will feel very
  sticky because of the egg, which helps burgers hold their shape as
  they cook.) Place burgers on a parchment-lined baking tray or
  plate. Cut the butter into slices and 1 slice of the cheese into
  4 thin squares, about 1" across. (The butter and cheese should be
  the same size.) Press a piece of each into the center of each
  burger. Shape the meat around it to cover across the top.
  Refrigerate for 10 minutes while you prepare the griddle.

  Heat a flat-top griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  Add enough butter just lightly coat the griddle or pan. Add the
  burgers to the griddle and cook until browned and just cooked
  through and a thermometer inserted into the meat (not the cheese in
  the center) reaches 165 degrees, about 4 minutes per side. In the
  final 2 minutes of cooking, add the remaining 4 cheese slices to
  the burgers, to melt.

  Remove the burgers from the heat and layer onto the buns with the
  avocado and any other burger toppings you desire. Serve warm.
