Capers give these burgers zing—and cancer protection, too: They help prevent the formation of carcinogens that can occur when meat gets charred.
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground turkey
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons currants
2 tablespoons capers
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil cooking spray
1/2 cup grated parmesan
4 ciabatta rolls, split
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
sliced tomato (optional)
Directions:
1. In a bowl, mix turkey, tomato paste, currants, capers, basil, fennel seeds and salt. Form turkey mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Coat a grill rack or grill pan with cooking spray. Grill patties over medium-high heat until underside is well browned, about 7 minutes; flip and cook 5 minutes more. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons Parmesan; close lid or cover pan. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 2 minutes. Brush bottom of each roll with 1 teaspoon vinegar; top with 1 burger, tomato, if desired, and other half of roll.
