Turkey Chorizo Burger

Makes:  4 servings

Ingredients

500g (l lb) ground turkey
1 green pepper
4 whole wheat burger buns
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
cooking spray or 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

1.  Combine ground turkey, garlic and spices (paprika, cumin, chili powder, coriander, oregano, and salt)  in a large bowl.  Mix well using clean hands.
2.  Add red wine vinegar and mix further with hands.
3.  Create 4 patties, roughly 140g each
4.  Place patties in refrigerator. Letting the flavors marinate for at least 2 hrs.
5.  Meanwhile, roast green pepper by placing the pepper on a gas burner at high heat.  Making sure to turn regularly until most of the skin is blackened.
6. Once all the skin is blackened, place the pepper in a bowl and cover in saran wrap for 20 minutes. This will allow the steam from the heat to continue cooking the pepper and help remove the blackened skin.
7.  After 20 minutes, place the pepper under cold running water and rinse away the blackened skin. De-seed the pepper and rinse further, removing all seeds.  Cut into 4 large slices and set aside.
8.  When ready to cook, remove turkey patties from refrigerator and heat a large pan or grill pan.
9.  Spray the pan with cooking spray (or use 1 tbsp olive oil) and place patties on pan.  Cook patties at least 5-6 minutes on each side.
10.  To serve, place a burger on each bun and top with green pepper.
