• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground turkey
• 4 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

directions

1. Cook shallot in oil with salt and pepper over moderate heat until golden, (2 to 3 minutes) then transfer to a bowl. Add turkey and minced red pepper and mix gently but thoroughly.
2. Divide turkey into 8 equal mounds. Pat 1 mound into a 4-inch patty and top with 1 ounce of cheese, then put a second mound on top, patting it onto the other patty to seal and shape into a single patty.
3. Grill burgers until no longer pink (about 10 minutes total).
4. Toast rolls.
5. To make the mayonnaise: Puree the roasted red peppers with water, vinegar and salt in a blender, then blend in the mayonnaise.
6. Cut the rolls in half horizontally (if necessary) and spread cut sides with roasted red pepper mayonnaise. Serve burgers on rolls with arugula.

These are very easy to make, & tastes great. I don't put the cheese in the mixture, I like it melted over the top. Don't limit yourself to cheddar. I didn't use kaiser rolls, that's just too much bread, they're good in flour tortillas and they're good on wheat buns. I roasted my own red pepper rather than using store bought. I omitted the water from the sauce.
