WeightWatchers Spicy Turkey Burgers with Pickled Onions recipe

***2 Points***

Ingredients:

Pickled Onions
• 1 cup red-wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 small red onion, halved and very thinly sliced

Turkey Burgers
• 1 pound 99%-lean ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon ground chipotle pepper, (see Note)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon canola oil
• 4 whole-wheat buns, split
• 8 teaspoons reduced-fat mayonnaise

Directions:

1. To prepare pickled onions: Whisk vinegar, brown sugar, salt and allspice in a medium glass bowl. Cover and microwave on High until the mixture boils, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, bring the mixture to a boil in a small saucepan on the stove.) Add onion and toss to coat.
2.To prepare burgers: Preheat grill to high. Place turkey in a medium bowl and gently mix in cilantro, cumin, ground chipotle, salt and allspice until distributed throughout the meat. Form the mixture into 4 patties. Brush with oil.
3.Grill the burgers until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toast buns on the grill, if desired.
4.Drain the onion, discarding the marinade. Spread 2 teaspoons mayonnaise on each bun; top with a burger and pickled onions.

Note: You Can add a Whole Wheat Bun and 1 tbsp of fat free mayo for 5 points, if you want that Real Sandwich Feel.

*** Serves 4 ***
