Instruction

  • To make the peach bbq sauce: Heat a splash of olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. 
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Reduce heat to low and add tomato paste and cumin; combining with the onion and garlic.
  • Add the tomato sauce and all remaining ingredients. Stir until combined and heated through. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or other seasonings as you see fit. 
  • Transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Add more water, a tablespoon or two at a time, if you prefer a thinner sauce. Set aside until burgers are ready.
  • To make the burgers: Combine turkey, egg, onion, minced garlic, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper in large bowl. 
  • Divide turkey into equal sized rounds. Make 2 equal sized patties out of each round so you have 8 patties total. 
  • Sprinkle 4 of the patties with fresh ground black pepper and top with goat cheese; top with remaining patties, working the turkey around the edges to seal burgers closed. 
  • Season with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill or broil until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
  • Once burgers are cooked, place in bun and add peach bbq sauce on top. Serves 4.
