Turkey Burgers with Mango Chutney

Total prep/cook time: ~30 min. Serves 4.

Ingredients:

• 1 16- to 20-inch-long whole-grain baguette
• 1 large red onion, cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, divided
• 1 lb 93%-lean ground turkey
• 5 tbsp mango chutney, divided
• 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
• 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

1. Preheat grill or skillet to medium-high.
2. Cut baguette into 4 equal lengths. Split each piece horizontally and pull out about half of the soft bread from each side.
3. Finely chop enough onion rounds to equal 1/3 cup. Combine the chopped onion with turkey, 1 tbsp chutney, and salt in a medium bowl; gently mix with your hands until well combined. Form into 4 burgers, about 1/2" thick, and oval-shaped to match the shape of the bread.
4. Oil the grill rack or skillet. Cook the remaining onion rounds until softened and blackened in spots, 3 to 4 min per side. Cook the burgers until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees F, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Warm the bread, cut-side down, until just beginning to char on the edges, about 2 minutes.
5. To assemble sandwiches, spread the remaining mango chutney on the bottom pieces of baguette. Top with a turkey burger, onion, and lettuce. Cover with the remaining bread.

Did you know?
The onion is a rich source of quercetin, a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory flavonoid, which is found on and near the skin and is particularly linked to the health benefits of onions. Quercetin has been shown to lower cholesterol, raise good-type HDL cholesterol, inhibit hardening of the arteries, maintain healthy blood pressure, and fight asthma, chronic bronchitis, hay fever, and infections. Don’t underestimate what the onion can do for you!
