1 ts Dried parsley

1 tb Milk
2 tb Butter; more for cooking

The secret to keeping lean turkey juicy as a burger?
Adding fat. The burgers in this recipe, stuffed with
cheese and a bit of butter, are moist, flavorful and,
best of all, hold together and flip easily.

Combine the turkey, salt, pepper and parsley in a large
bowl and mix with a fork or clean hands to season
evenly. Add the egg and milk and stir to combine.

Divide the meat into four portions with damp hands and
gently pack into four round patties, about 3/4" thick.
(It will feel very sticky because of the egg, which
helps burgers hold their shape as they cook.) Place
burgers on a parchment-lined baking tray or plate. Cut
the butter into slices and 1 slice of the cheese into 4
thin squares, about 1" across. (The butter and cheese
should be the same size.) Press a piece of each into the
center of each burger. Shape the meat around it to cover
across the top. Refrigerate for 10 minutes while you
prepare the griddle.

Heat a flat-top griddle or cast-iron skillet over
medium-high heat. Add enough butter just lightly coat
the griddle or pan. Add the burgers to the griddle and
cook until browned and just cooked through and a
thermometer inserted into the meat (not the cheese in
the center) reaches 165 degrees, about 4 minutes per
side. In the final 2 minutes of cooking, add the
remaining 4 cheese slices to the burgers, to melt.

Remove the burgers from the heat and layer onto the buns
with the avocado and any other burger toppings you
desire. Serve warm.
