Turkey Burgers with Jalapeno Cheese Sauce
From Light & Tasty
This is a lighter version of a tasty burger that people enjoyed at a place I once worked. I substituted the beef with turkey and used low-fat cheese, but the results are tastier than the original crowd pleaser. —Vicki Schurk of Hamden, Connecticut

1 cup fat-free milk, divided
6 garlic cloves, minced
