  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes; drain and cool on a plate lined with paper towels. Crumble bacon.
  • Mix bacon, turkey, bread crumbs, Cheddar cheese, yellow onion, egg, jalapeño pepper, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; shape mixture into eight 1/4-pound patties.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
