How to Make Jamaican Jerk Turkey Burgers With Tropical Fruit Salsa

  1. **Prepare the Salsa:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup diced papaya, 1 cup diced mango, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Gently mix and set aside. This can be made up to one day in advance.

  3. Add 1 pound ground turkey to the bowl and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Shape the turkey mixture into four 1-inch thick patties.
  5. Cover and refrigerate the patties for at least 20 minutes to firm up.
  6. Preheat your broiler to high.
  7. Broil the burgers for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through, flipping once halfway. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. Serve each burger topped with approximately 1/3 cup of the tropical fruit salsa.
