1 lb 93% lean ground turkey

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.
