By courtneyepowell

Ingredients

• 16 ounces boneless, skinless turkey thighs, trimmed of fat
• 7 strips bacon (about 7 ounces)
• Coarse salt
• 3 ounces Swiss cheese, thinly sliced
• 4 English muffins
• 4 thin slices tomato, sprinkled with flaky sea salt (such as Maldon), for serving
• Sliced avocado, romaine-lettuce leaves, and mayonnaise, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

STEP 1
Cut both meats into small pieces. Grind through the large holes of a meat grinder. Combine in a bowl, then grind together through small holes of grinder. Divide into 4 equal parts (each about 5 3/4 ounces). Form into patties, each about 3 1/2 inches in diameter.

STEP 2
Preheat grill to medium-high. Season both sides of burgers with coarse salt. Grill until a meat thermometer inserted in centers reads 168 degrees, about 5 minutes a side, placing cheese on burgers in last minute. Meanwhile, grill muffins until toasted, 30 seconds. Sandwich burgers on muffins with tomato, avocado, lettuce, and mayonnaise.
