Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine turkey mince, breadcrumbs, and egg yolk. Add cheddar cheese, jalapeño, and chives. Season with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. With damp hands, divide mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties. Chill in refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F). Ensure grates are clean and oiled.
  4. Gently place patties on the grill. Grill each side for 5 to 7 minutes, checking for a golden-brown crust and internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Toast burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.
  6. Assemble burgers: Spread mayonnaise on buns, layer lettuce, turkey patty, extra cheese, tomato slices, and onions.
  7. Serve immediately while warm, enjoying the flavorful combination.
