Sicilian Turkey Burger

  Capers give these burgers zing—and cancer protection, too: They help prevent the formation of carcinogens that can occur when meat gets charred.

  

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

  1 pound lean ground turkey

  3 tablespoons tomato paste

  3 tablespoons currants

  2 tablespoons capers

  1/2 teaspoon dried basil

  1/2 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds

  1/2 teaspoon salt

  Vegetable oil cooking spray

  1/2 cup grated Parmesan

  4 ciabatta rolls, split

  4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

  Sliced tomato (optional)

  In a bowl, mix turkey, tomato paste, currants, capers, basil, fennel seeds and salt. Form turkey mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties. Coat a grill rack or grill pan with cooking spray. Grill patties over medium-high heat until underside is well browned, about 7 minutes; flip and cook 5 minutes more. Top each patty with 2 tablespoons Parmesan; close lid or cover pan. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 2 minutes. Brush bottom of each roll with 1 teaspoon vinegar; top with 1 burger, tomato, if desired, and other half of roll.
