Instructions

Preheat grill to 400°F and coat grates with oil. Combine turkey, red onion, cilantro, garlic, and jalapeno in large bowl until just combined. Form into 4 equal patties, and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill for 6 minutes, flip and cook additional 4 to 6 minutes, until fully cooked to internal temperature of 165°F. With about 1 minute remaining on cook time, add 2 slices of Cheddar-Gruyere cheese to each patty.
Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for chipotle mayonnaise in small food processor and process for 1 minute, until smooth.
Spread chipotle mayonnaise on both sides of buns. Top each bottom bun with layer of lettuce and burger patty. Top with jalapeno slices and bacon and serve.
