Steps for Preparation

  1. Prepare the grill. Divide the ground turkey into as many portions as desired. Divide each portion in two and roll into balls. Place onto a plastic wrap lined sheet tray and use another piece of plastic wrap to press each ball into a patty about 4-5 inches in diameter.
  2. Working with half of the patties, place a portion of cheese onto each patty; cut the ham to fit over the cheese. Arrange the cheese and ham so that they leave a 1/4-inch gap along the edge of each patty.
  3. Top the cheese and ham with the remaining patties. Use your fingertips to seal the edges together. In a bowl, combine the oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. To prevent burgers from sticking, brush them with the salt and oil mixture, placing the burgers over medium-hot coals to grill.
  5. Cover and cook the burgers, checking for doneness with the Cook'd Right® Sensor.
    1. Quickly insert dark sensor tip into center of meat. Wait 5-10 seconds.
    2. Remove sensor tip and check color.
    3. Continue checking with the same sensor until done.
    4. Discard sensor when finished.
    5. Burger is done when tip of sensor is fully orange, after about 10 minutes.
  6. Burgers should be nicely charred on both sides, and the cheese should begin to melt through to the outside of the burger.
  7. Remove the burgers when cooked and reserve warm while toasting the buns over the coals. Place the burgers on the toasted buns, spread with mustard and top with pickle slices and lettuce leaves before serving.
