Low Fat Turkey Burgers

Directions

Combine couscous and water in a small bowl; let stand for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the couscous is tender and the water is absorbed.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over low heat.

Add bell pepper, garlic, thyme, curry powder, cumin, allspice, ginger, salt, pepper, paprika and cayenne.

Cook, stirring, until the bell pepper is slightly softened, 1 to 2 minutes.

Let cool.

Prepare a grill or preheat the broiler.

Combine turkey, the couscous and the bell-pepper mixture in a medium-sized bowl; mix thoroughly but lightly.

Shape into four ¾ inch-thick patties. If using the grill, oil the grill rack (see Tip) or oil the broiler pan.

Grill or broil the patties until browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side.

Place on buns (or English muffins) and garnish with tomato slices and lettuce leaves.
