I love when the grill is up and running. Try these yummy turkey burgers next time you’re grilling. You’ll be glad you did!
Turkey Burgers with Tropical Salsa
1 pound of ground turkey
2 scallions, minced
¼ cup whole wheat bread crumbs
2 Tbsp minced celery
2 Tbsp salsa
¾ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp chili powder
½ peeled and cored fresh pineapple, chopped
2 kiwi, peeled and diced
1 scallion, sliced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tsp grated lime zest
1 Tbsp lime juice
2 tsp diced pickled jalapeno peppers
2 whole wheat hamburger buns
4 lettuce leaves
Combine ground turkey, scallions, bread crumbs, celery, salsa, cumin and chili powder in a large bowl. Mix well. Form into four patties.
Prepare your grill and cook the patties on the grill until done, 5-6 minutes per side.
Meanwhile make the salsa. Stir together the pineapple, kiwi, scallions, cilantro, lime zest and lime juice in a medium bowl.
Place buns on each of four serving plates. Top each bun half with a lettuce leaf and a burger. Top evenly with salsa and enjoy!

That salsa looks like it would be great with something like a cinnamon crisp made from baked tortillas brushed with butter, cinnamon and sugar. The burgers also look fabulous. Do they come out very spicy? My hubby doesn’t like the heat in food as much as I do. Thanks for sharing and I love your pictures! – Amy

Amy,
I didn’t think they were very spicy but you could always omit the pickled jalapeño peppers! I love your idea of serving them with Cinnamon crips made from baked tortillas!
