This recipe definitely produced a moist burger, although a mite under-seasoned for my taste (but I have a high tolerance for salt).
I am not sure what is really added by taking the extra step of dicing the cheese and putting it in the middle of the burger. The addition of wine to the meat makes for a moist burger and I think that next time I'd just add sliced cheddar to the top of the burger after the final flip.
I'd also like to try a longer-cooking onion confit, (without the grape tomatoes) as a topping next time.
Might be nice to add some dried cranberries to the confit and switch the cheese to a mild blue.
But I liked these enough to embark on a search for more turkey burger recipes. That plus the fact that Costco had a special on 4 pounds of ground turkey.

I never know if I'm going to like a recipe with ground turkey, but this recipe was DELICIOUS! I cannot wait to make these burgers again - they were moist and wonderful, and the cheese in the middle makes them a little bit decadent.

This is the only recipe I have ever found for turkey burgers that produced a flavorful, moist burger rather than a dried-out hockey puck. This recipe rescued the turkey burger for me.
Update: Actually, the turkey burger in Sara Foster's Casual Cooking is a tad better.
