Jamaican Jerk Turkey Burgers With Tropical Fruit Salsa

"This is a Weight Watchers recipe. Its a delicous alternative to hamburgers. The salsa adds a slightly sweet touch to tame the heat of the jerk seasoning. The salsa can be prepared up to one day in advance and refrigerated until ready to use."

  1. Great flavorful turkey burgers! I left out the onions and subbed apple for the papaya. I added some cayenne to the salsa for a little kick and thought it was great with the flavor of the burgers. Grilled these over charcoal and really enjoyed - thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Spring PAC 2010

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My children laugh at my public name, but I truly couldn't come up with a name for me! Anyway, I am a married mom of 4. I have always liked to cook, but I have never been a recipe kind of gal, instead I have always just made things up as I went (unless it was a baked good). Usually things turn out really well, but my daughters are now late teens early 20's and want me to tell them how to make things, this is difficult when every time you make something it changes. This is how I joined RecipeZaar, I figured if I could begin to post recipes to the site then they could just go online and find my recipes without having to ask. I have also learned that it does save time to follow recipes, I especially enjoy Rachael Ray, even when I thinnk something sounds a little odd 9 times out of 10 it turns out wonderful. As I write I have a pot of stoup simmering waiting for dinner to come! My son has his "fan favs", with the girls mostly gone away to school now its fun to put food in front of him and watch him and his dad fight over it!
