All the flavors you love of a classic appetizer now stuffed into a delicious, better for you burger. These Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Turkey Burgers are packed with 4 types of cheese, spicy jalapenos and bacon. They're a triple threat and darn good ones at that!
Ingredients
- Jalapeno Popper Cream Cheese
- 2 jalapenos
- 1/2 cup Weight Watchers Cream cheese, I used whipped (room temperature)
- 1oz reduced fat cheddar cheese
- 1oz reduced fat pepperjack cheese
- 4 slices center cut bacon
- Burgers
- 16 ounces ground turkey
- 4 slices Weight Watchers singles
- 4 hamburger buns, I used 80 calorie ones
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and set broiler to high. Char jalapenos on all sides. Remove from oven and allow to cool. When cooled, peel off outer layer of char, cut off top, slice the peppers down the middle and scrap out the ribs and seeds, if desired. If you like it spicier, leave them in. Placed into a bowl
- Cook bacon. (I place mine in a pan, set over medium heat, until browned) Crumble.
- In the same bowl as the jalapenos, add in cream cheese, cheddar cheese, pepperjack cheese and bacon. Stir to combine.
- Measure out 2.5 ounces of ground turkey and place into a burger press. If you do not have one, form into a patty 1/8" thick.
- Place 1/4 cup cream cheese mixture into the middle of the patty and top with remaining 1.5 ounces of ground turkey, making sure to cover the cream cheese mixture. Pinch the ends so it all stays contained inside.*
- in a pan set over medium heat and spray with cooking spray, place 2 burger patties. Allow to cook on each side for 3 minutes or until browned. Repeat with last 2 burgers.
- Place on a cooking sheet lined with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and add 1 piece of Weight Watchers Slices and place back into the oven for 1 minute or until melted.
- Place burgers onto hamburger buns and serve.
