Ingredients

  • 1 cup red-wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 4 whole-wheat buns
  • 8 teaspoons reduced-fat mayonnaise

Cooking Instructions

1. To prepare pickled onions: Whisk vinegar, brown sugar, salt and allspice in a medium glass bowl. Microwave on High until the mixture boils, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, bring the mixture to a boil in a small saucepan on the stove.) Add onions and toss to coat.

2. To prepare burgers: Preheat grill to high. Place turkey in a medium bowl and gently mix in cilantro, cumin, ground chipotle, salt and allspice until distributed throughout the meat. Form the mixture into 4 patties. Brush with oil.

3. Grill the burgers until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Meanwhile, toast buns on the grill, if desired.

4. Drain the onions, discarding the marinade. Spread 2 teaspoons mayonnaise on each bun; top with a burger and pickled onions.

I DID TRY IT!!!!

I did try this recipe and I did not change a thing. I liked the mayonnaise. I did put some baby spinach on the bun before the burger. It was well liked by everyone who ate it.

Sorry Jerseygirl055

I agree with ConexHeaven. What ConexHeaven and I are saying is you and all other who say it sounds great really aren't providing a review--as we are not--but to take from the school yard, you started it. In all seriousness, I would rather hear from people who have tried the recipe.

DON'T REVIEW IF YOU'RE ONLY SPECULATING!! TRY IT FIRST!!

A speculative review serves NO PURPOSE. Please don't review if you're only ASSUMING the recipe is good. That's totally counter productive. Try the darned recipe first, for crying out loud!!

    Spicy Southwest flavors pair with sweet and tangy pickled red onions to create a standout turkey burger. (The pickled onions would also be great with this burger.) Make it a meal: Serve with Southwestern Calico Corn or sweet potato fries and a frosty lager.
