Turkey Burgers With Caesar Spread

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan (1/2 ounce)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 anchovy fillet, finely chopped (optional)
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey (dark meat or 93 percent lean or less)
• 3/4 cup grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese (3 ounces)
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 4 hamburger buns

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan, lemon juice, mustard, ⅔ of the garlic, anchovy (if using), and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper.
2. Meanwhile, heat grill to medium-high. In a medium bowl, combine the turkey, Gruyère, and remaining garlic. (Do not overwork the meat.)
3. Form the mixture into four ¾-inch-thick patties and season with the chili powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
4. Grill the patties, turning once (do not press), until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 160° F, 6 to 8 minutes per side.
5. Place the burgers on the buns and top with the Caesar spread.
