Ingredient Notes

Ground Turkey: Ground beef hamburger meat can also be used. You can also add green peppers with the onions as well to have more of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich.

Buns: My favorite bread to use is Brioche buns or hoagie sub rolls. You can use a hamburger bun as well.

Cheese: You can use any cheese you like Cheddar cheese or American cheese slices. You can even put cheez whiz. I just love using a mixture of sliced pepper jack and provolone. I love the spice the pepper jack gives. 

Spice: Fill free to mix up the spices to create your own flavor.

Toppings: Pile on lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, or whatever you love on your burgers that can be added to this chop cheese sandwich.

How To Make This Chopped Cheese Recipe

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 Tablespoon avocado oil. 

Add ground turkey to the pan, and let the meat brown while starting to chop up the ground turkey using a spatula (8-10 minutes). Continue to chop and cook the meat until no pink remains.

Add the onions to saute until they are translucent (about 3 minutes). Add the seasonings and stir to thoroughly combine.

Divide the meat into 4 equal portions and top each portion with 2 slices of cheese. Allow the cheese to melt while in the skillet.

Toast your buns in a warm skillet. 

Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on the inside of the brioche buns, then top with chopped meat mixture. Add tomatoes and lettuce or your other preferred toppings and then serve.

Storage and Reheating

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Reheating: To reheat the ground meat, you can use the microwave or reheat in a medium skillet over medium for 3-4 minutes or until heated through.

Freezing: This ground meat can be frozen! Freeze cooked meat in a freezer bag, sealed tightly for up to 2 months.

What to Serve with Chopped Cheese

I love to serve this with Air fryer sweet potato fries or a side of kettle cooked potato chips. You can also serve it with french fries. You can never go with any of these choices.
