I don't eat hamburgers at all anymore. A nice health turkey burger with tomato jam is where it's at. I have a menu that my son and I update weekly. We call it Cafe Collins. Here is one of the turkey burgers with tomato jam we make. They turn awesome and healthy. We only have one body to live in so keep it clean and healthy.
Ingredients
? 1 pound ground turkey
? 2/3 cup finely chopped red onion
? 1/3 cup (about 2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese plus additional for topping
? 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped pitted Kalamata olives (about 6)
? 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil plus additional for brushing
? 1 small garlic clove, pressed
? 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
? 1/2 teaspoon (generous) coarse kosher salt
? 1/2 teaspoon (generous) black pepper
? 4 wheat crusty rolls, halved horizontally
Preparation
Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill rack with oil.
Gently mix turkey, onion, 1/3 cup feta, 3 tablespoons chopped olives, 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil, garlic, rosemary, generous 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, and generous 1/2 teaspoon pepper in medium bowl. Form into 4 patties, each about 1 inch thick. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Grill burgers until charred on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Grill cut side of rolls until toasted, about 2 minutes. Assemble burgers with Tomato Jam and additional feta and chopped olives.
