1/4 cup minced cilantro
2 chipotle peppers (in adobo) minced
1 teaspoon adobo sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Preheat your grill to high.
In a large bowl combine the ground turkey, minced cilantro, chipotle peppers, salt, pepper, garlic powder and black pepper.
Mix by hand until thoroughly combined. Form into 12 equal portions and then form into patties.
Turn the grill temperature down to medium-high and give it a chance to cool down for a few seconds before placing the chicken patties onto the grill. With the lid closed, grill the burgers for 5 minutes.
Flip the burgers and place down the cheddar and continue to cook [with the lid closed] for 4 to 5 minutes more or until the patties are fully cooked and the cheese is melt-y and bubbly.
Serve on a toasted slider bun with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
