Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup couscous
2 tsp vegetable oil
1/2 red bell pepper, diced fine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp sweet paprika
1/8 tsp cayenne
3/4 lb ground turkey
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
lettuce (to garnish )
tomato (to garnish )

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the couscous with 1/2 c.
Water; let stand 20 minutes or until the water is completely absorbed.
Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet, heat the oil over low heat.
Add the bell pepper, garlic and spices.
Saute until the red pepper is slightly softened, about 1-2 minutes.
Let cool completely.
Prepare the grill.
In a medium sized bowl, combine the couscous, the spice/bellpepper mixture and the turkey and mix thoroughly, but lightly- use just enough mixing to combine everything.
Shape the mixture into 4 patties.
Grill or broil on a lightly oiled rack until brown and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side for 3/4 thick burgers.
Place on buns, serve with lettuce and tomatoes.
