Ingredients: 

• 1 lb. ground turkey
• 6 oz goat white gouda, cut into cubes
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions:

• Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Add the ground turkey to a large bowl with the diced gouda, parsley and spices.
• Using your hands, combine the mixture until the cheese is evenly dispersed. Don't over-mix.
• Form turkey into 4 equally sized burger patties.
• Clean grill with half an onion and brush olive oil on grates. Grill the burgers for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. The burgers should have beautiful grill marks & tons of melty cheese oozing out!
