Middle Eastern Turkey Burgers

This burger gets a Middle Eastern twist from the addition of garlic, cumin, coriander, and fresh mint and parsley folded into the ground turkey.

Ingredients:

-1 ½ lb ground turkey

-2 medium cloves garlicSalt

-¼ cup lightly packed chopped fresh mint

-¼ cup lightly packed chopped fresh parsley

-2 tbsp olive oil

-2 tsp sweet paprika

-1 tsp ground cumin

Preparation:

• Put the ground turkey in a large bowl.

• Mince the garlic and mix it with the mint, parsley, olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, and cayenne into the turkey.

• Shape the meat into 4 equal 1-inch-thick patties.

• Refrigerate, for at least 20 minutes and up to 4 hours.

• Grill the burgers, until nicely marked and just cooked through (an instant-read thermometer inserted in a burger should read 165°F), 4 to 6 minutes per side.
