2 tbsp. cilantro, chopped

1/4 cup mayonnaise-type dressing, for garnish (optional)

Recipe
Prepare hot coals for grilling.
Place the ground turkey in a bowl and mix well with the scallions, bell pepper, garlic, cilantro and spices. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Gently form into 4 patties.
Grill patties over hot coals, 3" from heat, for about 5-6 minutes per side.
If desired, spread buns with mayonnaise-type dressing and top burgers with avacado slices. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings
It's necessary to highly season turkey because the meat itself tastes rather mild. Yet, once ground turkey is cooked up, it's delicious. To do a taste test on the mixture, make a little patty the size of a silver dollar and pan-fry it in a nonstick skillet. This way you can adjust your seasonings to taste. A mayonnaise-type dressing and avacado make perfect toppings.
