Spicy Grilled Turkey Burgers

Redneck Epicurean's Note:

I'd never tried ground turkey meat before. I got curious when our small grocery store down the road got some in and I just had to try it. I came up with this recipe through a magazine I had that my (of all people) gastro doctor suggested. It's called EatingWell and it has healthy recipes. Some of them are frankly off the wall, but this one wasn't bad.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 lb ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 dash allspice
• 1 teaspoon oil
• 4 buns (I prefer onion buns from the bakery)

Directions:

1. Preheat the grill.
2. Mix together, but don't overmix, the burger ingredients and brush with oil.
3. Place on the grill when hot and grill until the center is no longer pink.
4. Place on warmed buns and top with any burger fixin's. I tried mayo and dill pickles and that was pretty good.

I used ground turkey breast for these, I skipped the allspice (didn't have any) and added some chopped raw onion to the mixture. Cooked these on the grill and served on a bun w/sliced tomato and they were really tasty. I love the addition of the cilantro. I'll make these again.
