We tamed the slight heat of these Caribbean-inspired burgers with a cool mango-papaya salsa. They'll be a welcome addition to your summer BBQs.
 

Ingredients

1/2 cup(s) papaya(s), diced   
1 cup(s) mango(es), diced   
3/4 cup(s) red onion(s), finely chopped, divided   
1/2 cup(s) green pepper(s), finely chopped, divided   
2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped   
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice   
1/2 cup(s) uncooked quick oats   
1/3 cup(s) ketchup   
1 Tbsp jerk seasoning, Jamaican-variety   
1 large egg(s)   
1 pound(s) lean ground turkey   

Instructions

  • To prepare salsa, in a medium bowl, combine papaya, mango, 1/4 cup each of red onion and green pepper, cilantro and lime juice; set aside.

  • To prepare burgers, in a large bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup of red onion, remaining 1/4 cup of green pepper, oats, ketchup, jerk seasoning and egg; mix until well combined. Add turkey; mix thoroughly. Shape turkey mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties; cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes.

  • Preheat grill. Grill burgers until cooked through, flipping once, about 5 to 7 minutes per side. Serve each burger topped with about a heaping 1/3 cup of salsa.

Notes

  • The salsa can be prepared up to one day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.

    These burgers can also be broiled until cooked through, flipping once, about 16 to 20 minutes total.
