Preparation
Step 1
To make the peach bbq sauce: Heat a splash of olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Reduce heat to low and add tomato paste and cumin; combining with the onion and garlic.
Step 3
Add the tomato sauce and all remaining ingredients. Stir until combined and heated through. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or other seasonings as you see fit.
Step 4
Transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Add more water, a tablespoon or two at a time, if you prefer a thinner sauce. Set aside until burgers are ready.
Step 5
To make the burgers: Combine turkey, egg, onion, minced garlic, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper in large bowl.
Step 6
Divide turkey into equal sized rounds. Make 2 equal sized patties out of each round so you have 8 patties total.
Step 7
Sprinkle 4 of the patties with fresh ground black pepper and top with goat cheese; top with remaining patties, working the turkey around the edges to seal burgers closed.
Step 8
Season with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill or broil until cooked through, about 6 minutes per side.
Step 9
Once burgers are cooked, place in bun and add peach bbq sauce on top. Serves 4.
