Category: Burgers

Burger Patties
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 cup Concord Grape Jam
1 lb mild or hot bulk Italian sausage and ground turkey

Red Pepper Relish
2 tbsp Concord Grape Jam and red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp dried basil
1 (7oz) jar sweet roasted red peppers, drained and sliced into 1/4 inch x 1 inch strips
Smoked mozzarella cheese, sliced
6 onion sandwich rolls, sliced

Relish: Combine grape jam, vinegar, basil and red peppers in a small bowl.

Patties: Combine salt, parsley, basil and jam in a medium bowl. Crumble ground italian sausage and turkey over mixtures; gently combine the ingredients well. Shape meat into 6 wide patties; refrigerate.

Coat unheated grill grate with no-stick cooking spray. Heat grill to medium-high (350 to 400 degrees). Grill patties 4-6 minutes per side or until juices run clear. Toast the rolls if desired. Top each burger with a slice of smoked mozarella cheese during the last 2 minutes of grilling time.

Place a burger on each roll bottom, top with red pepper relish and roll top. To toast the rolls; spray the inside of each roll with no-stick cooking spray. Place the rolls (cut side down) around the outer edges of the cooking grate; grill until golden brown.
