I got this recipe from an old friend who didn't eat beef. I love these. A nice change of pace from standard burgers. Ingredients:
1/3 cup couscous |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
1/2 red bell pepper, diced fine |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne |
3/4 lb ground turkey |
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted |
lettuce (to garnish) |
tomato (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the couscous with 1/2 c.
2. water; let stand 20 minutes or until the water is completely absorbed.
3. Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet, heat the oil over low heat.
4. Add the bell pepper, garlic and spices.
5. Saute until the red pepper is slightly softened, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Let cool completely.
7. Prepare the grill.
8. In a medium sized bowl, combine the couscous, the spice/bellpepper mixture and the turkey and mix thoroughly, but lightly- use just enough mixing to combine everything.
9. Shape the mixture into 4 patties.
10. Grill or broil on a lightly oiled rack until brown and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side for 3/4 thick burgers.
11. Place on buns, serve with lettuce and tomatoes.
