  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and fresh ground pepper

Burger:

  • 1 lb (500 g) lean ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) grated onion
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) dry breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 egg
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 red onion sliced into rings
  • 4 artisan rolls
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL) crumbled goat cheese
  • Baby arugula leaves

Directions
 

  • Glaze: Heat fruit spread, vinegar, salt and pepper in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Boil for 5 to 7 minutes or until thick and syrupy; set aside.
  • Gently mix ground turkey with onion, breadcrumbs, parsley, egg, garlic, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Divide into 4 portions. Shape into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick patties.
  • Heat grill to medium-high heat; grease grate well. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until well marked. Continue to grill, brushing burgers with half the glaze for 2 to 3 minutes more or until burgers are cooked through. Meanwhile, grill red onion rings for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until well marked and tender.
  • In each roll, layer the arugula, burger patties, some of the remaining glaze, grilled red onion and a sprinkle of goat cheese.
