Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- Use your hands to gently combine the turkey, yogurt, scallion, garlic, jerk seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Form into four 3-inch patties about 1/2-inch thick. Chill for at least 30 minutes (this helps to keep the burgers from sticking to the grill).
- Combine the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise and vinegar in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Brush the sweet potatoes with the oil and sprinkle with a large pinch of salt. Lightly oil the grill grates. Arrange the sweet potato rounds on the grill, cover with the lid and cook until there are nice grill marks and the potatoes are tender but not mushy, 8 to 12 minutes per side. Remove and set aside to cool completely.
- Spray both sides of the turkey burgers with nonstick cooking spray and grill, covered, until the burgers have nice grill marks and an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 8 to 12 minutes per side.
- Assemble the burgers: Spread 4 sweet potato rounds each with mango chutney. Top with the patties and 1/4 of the coleslaw and sandwich with the remaining sweet potato rounds.

I got this recipe from Food Network. These burgers are absolutely the best burgers I have ever eaten. They are so moist, delicious, and very healthy. I suggest serving on a whole wheat bun with ketchup ontop. If you can't find jerk seasoning use cumin, it's delicious.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, onion, bell pepper, egg whites, watercress, teriyaki sauce, and jerk seasoning until well blended.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ground turkey: Opt for ground turkey that is fresh and lean, with a fat content of less than 8%. This will ensure that your turkey burgers are juicy and flavorful.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Jerk seasoning is traditionally made with a blend of allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, thyme, and scotch bonnet peppers. However, you can adjust the seasonings to your taste preferences. Feel free to add additional herbs, spices, or even a bit of heat with some cayenne pepper.
- Don't overmix the turkey: Overmixing the turkey will make your burgers tough. Gently combine the ingredients until just combined and form into patties.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out. Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Serve the burgers on sweet potato rounds: This is a great way to add a healthy and flavorful twist to your burgers. Simply slice the sweet potatoes into rounds and bake them in the oven until tender.
Conclusion:
Jerk turkey burgers on sweet potato rounds are a healthy and flavorful twist on the classic burger. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
