# How to Make It:

In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, minced jalapeños, and garlic. Mash with a fork or spatula until fully incorporated. Set aside.

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix ground turkey, almond flour, minced onion, salt, black pepper, and cumin until evenly blended.
03 -
Using a burger press lined with parchment, add turkey mixture to fill halfway. Press to create a well in the center.
04 -
Place a portion of the cheese filling into the well, cover with more turkey mixture, and use the press to seal the edges. For hand-formed burgers, form a well in each patty, fill, and seal.
05 -
Continue until all the turkey and filling are used, yielding 6 to 7 stuffed patties.
06 -
Heat grill to medium-high. Brush both sides of each burger with olive oil.

Cook burgers for 7 to 8 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 74°C.

Top burgers with crispy bacon and serve on lettuce wraps or buns as desired.
