    • Jamaican "jerk" seasonings transform a humble ground turkey patty into a lively summer burger.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

    Directions

    1. Combine couscous and water in a small bowl; let stand for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the couscous is tender and the water is absorbed.

    2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over low heat. Add bell pepper, garlic, thyme, curry powder, cumin, allspice, ginger, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne. Cook, stirring, until the bell pepper is slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool.

    3. Prepare a grill or preheat the broiler.

    4. Combine turkey, the couscous and the bell-pepper mixture in a medium-sized bowl; mix thoroughly but lightly. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. If using the grill, oil the grill rack (see Tip) or oil the broiler pan. Grill or broil the patties until browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side. Place on buns (or English muffins) and garnish with tomato slices and lettuce leaves.

    To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)

    - and red pepper hummus to be delicious. I even put some butter on my burger bun and fried it in the skillet i used for the season mix that you add in the burger. Great with a nice Light Ale and more comfort is supplied by this burger than imagined.

    A delicious burger! I substituted the Couscous with some whole wheat rice and seasoned it with about a Teaspoon of Sugar and Allspice. Some other substitutions were made with the Thyme and Cumin. Instead I used: Parsley(thyme) and Creole(cumin)

    Also, I made a slightly larger burger with 8oz instead of 6oz, and cooked it for 2 minutes longer on each side on a HIGH Broil. Along with the Lettuce and Tomatoes I used Spinach leaves and for an awesome condiment(s) I found Mayo
