2 pounds ground turkey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded
Vegetable oil, for the grill
2 large peaches, sliced into 1/4-inch slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Several dashes of your favorite hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
6 brioche or pretzel hamburger buns
1 cup arugula

Steps:

Mix together the ground turkey, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Portion the burger patties using a 1/2 cup measuring cup. Level off each scoop. Using your fingers, form a well or slight hole in the middle of the burger. Fill the well with 3 tablespoons of the cheese. Gently press to form a patty and completely cover the well of cheese.
Heat grill pan or grill over medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F). Liberally oil the grill pan or grill. Cook the burger patties until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F and the cheese is melted on the inside, 6 to 8 minutes on each side. The cheese inside the burgers is hot, so let the burgers rest 5 minutes before serving.
Toss the peaches with the olive oil in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt. Place the peaches on the grill until grill marks appear, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Be careful not to overcook the fruit. Grill only until grill marks are present on each side.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, hot sauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
To assemble the burgers, spread the sauce on the bottom bun. Add the arugula and the burger patty and top it off with a sliced peach. Serve immediately.
