1
In large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, onion, garlic and pepper*.
2
Form into 10 patties. Ideally, make this mixture at least 8 hours before cooking so that the turkey can marinate with the other ingredients.
3
Freeze any extra formed patties to thaw later.
4
Heat grill to medium-high heat.
5
Grill turkey burgers approximately 14 to 16 minutes. Always cook to well-done, 165°F as measured by a meat thermometer. Layer lettuce, tomato, turkey burger and onion.
6
Top with avocado, pickled jalapeno and mustard, if desired.

*JENNIE-O also recommends adding 15 slices of chopped, uncooked JENNIE-O Turkey Bacon to the meat mixture. For ease of chopping, place bacon slices in freezer for 15 minutes. Chop finely while still firm.
