    List of Ingredients




    Spicy Turkey Burgers w/Pickled Onions


    1 cup red wine vinegar
    2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    1 small red onion, halved & very thinly sliced

    1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper (see NOTE)
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
    1 teaspoon canola oil
    4 whole wheat buns, split
    8 teaspoons reduced-fat mayonnaise

    Recipe




    To Prepare the Pickled Onions:

    Whisk together the red wine vinegar, brown sugar, salt & allspice in a medium glass bowl.

    Cover & 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 the onions to the prepared pickling sauce, tossing to coat.

    To Prepare the Burgers:

    Preheat a grill to high.

    Place the turkey in a medium bowl & gently mix in the cilantro, cumin, salt & allspice until the spices are distributed throughout the meat.

    Form the meat mixture into 4 patties.

    Brush the patties with the canola oil.

    Grill the burgers until they are cooked through & are no longer pink in the center; 3 to 4 minutes per side.

    Toast the buns on the grill, if desired.

    Drain the onion, discarding the marinade.

    Spread 2 teaspoons of the mayonnaise on each bun.

    Top with a burger & some pickled onions, followed by the top of the bun.
