- In a medium sized bowl, add the ground turkey, bacon, and just 2 tablespoons of the crumbled blue cheese (reserving the rest to top the burgers with before serving).

- After removing the red bell pepper from the grill, the skin can be easily removed if you like.
- Grill the turkey burgers until fully cooked (about 6 minutes per side).
