How to Make Turkey Burgers Jerk Style
- Combine 1 cup couscous and 1 cup boiling water in a small bowl. Let stand for 20-30 minutes, or until tender and water is absorbed.
- While couscous rests, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over low heat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until bell pepper is slightly softened, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare your grill or broiler pan by lightly oiling the surface. Preheat to medium-high heat.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground turkey, the cooked couscous, and the cooled bell pepper mixture.
- Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Shape the mixture into four 3/4-inch thick patties.
- Grill or broil the patties for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Serve on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as tomato slices and lettuce leaves.
