Smoky BBQ Turkey Burger | Juicy Homemade Grilled Burger

Mix the minced turkey with salt, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and olive oil, then form 4 equal patties. Press slightly in the center of each patty with your thumb so they don't puff up during cooking.

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grate and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and juicy. In the last minute, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty to melt gently.

Grill the bacon slices next to the patties for about 2-3 minutes until crispy, then transfer them to paper towels to drain.
