Stuffed Turkey Burgers

Sometimes I change a recipe to suit my taste....this is one of them. The original recipe suggested using roasted red peppers which I didn't have on hand so I used pimento. The peppers and cheese were to be the stuffing. I choose to mix the pimento and cheese into the turkey and I stuffed them with additional cheese.

1. Make 8 equal sized patties rounds from the ground turkey breast.
