Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey (93/7 or 85/15)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices cheese (pepper jack or cheddar)
- 4 buns
- toppings of choice

Cook 2-3 minutes per side. Add cheese after flipping. The turkey patties will be slightly more delicate than beef, so use a thin metal spatula to scrape under them carefully.
