Ingredients
- Ground turkey (¼ pound patties, 93% lean) seasoned with a little salt & pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 3 cups red cabbage shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- 4 large leafs of lettuce (romaine, red leaf, or green leaf)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
- In a large skillet sauté the onion, pepper, and red cabbage with the olive oil until soft.
- Add the garlic salt and balsamic vinegar and allow to simmer until the vinegar and veggies are shiny and caramelized. Stir often. (Most of the liquid will have cooked off).
- Keep this relish warm.
- Grill or pan fry 4 quarter pound turkey burgers until just done. (Cooking them too long will make them dry) Usually 4 minutes on each side on a hot grill is sufficient, but a little longer if you are using the frozen type.
- Now place a turkey burger on the stem end of the lettuce leaf, top with a generous portion of the warm relish.
- Serve! Feeds 4 with other sides or 2 as a complete meal.
