Recipe: Cheesy Ground Turkey Jalapeno Burger with Avocado Relish
This is a burger that my brother-in-law, Larry, makes all the time. We decided to add some big flavor with avocado relish. We cooked these on the grill, but they can be done on the stovetop as well.

½ jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
