GARLIC BUTTER:

6 cloves garlic

1 stick unsalted butter

BLISTERED CHILE:

1 large poblano pepper

1 jalapeno pepper

SAUTEED ONION & PEPPERS:

Extra-virgin olive oil

1 medium red onion, julienned

1/2 large red pepper, seeds and membrane removed, julienned

1/2 large yellow pepper, seeds and membrane removed, julienned

1/4 teaspoon paprika

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

TURKEY BURGERS:

1 pound ground turkey breast

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, plus more for serving

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Pinch white pepper

Kosher salt

Olive oil

4 slices Monterey Jack cheese

4 brioche burger buns

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. GARLIC BUTTER: Place the garlic in a small saute pan and set over medium heat. Add the butter and warm through. Cook the garlic until fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Then place the garlic butter in the fridge to firm up again. BLISTERED CHILE: Place the poblano and jalapeno under the broiler or char on the grill over a direct flame until the skin blisters. When done, remove the seeds, stem and roughly chop. Reserve. ONION AND PEPPERS: Set a large saute pan over high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and saute the onions and bell peppers until wilted, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with the paprika and some salt and pepper. TURKEY BURGERS: In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, mustard, Worcestershire, cumin, white pepper and the reserved blistered chiles. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Mix gently until well combined. Form into four 4-ounce burger patties. Wipe the grill down with oil-blotted towels, and then place the burgers on the hot grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the burgers, top with a slice of cheese and cook until cooked through and cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside and allow to rest. Smear the buns with the garlic butter. Grill the buns garlic butter side down until golden and crispy, 20 to 30 seconds. To build the burgers, place 1 grilled turkey burger on the bottom half of the bun. Then top with a good heaping of sauteed onions and peppers. Finish with the top half of the bun and skewer to hold all of it together.
