Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning
• 1 stalk Green onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
• 1 cup Papaya, diced
• 1 cup Mango, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 unit Jalapeño, finely diced
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (for salsa)
• 4 units Burger buns

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, Jamaican jerk seasoning, green onion, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a burger patty about 1 inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the cooking oil. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.

Step 4

While the burgers are cooking, prepare the papaya mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced papaya, mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and salt. Toss gently to combine. Set aside.

Step 5

Toast the burger buns lightly on a skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each burger bun, followed by a turkey patty. Spoon a generous amount of papaya mango salsa over the patty and top with the other half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Jamaican Jerk Turkey Burgers with Papaya Mango Salsa!
