- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning
- 1 stalk Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil
- 1 cup Papaya, diced
- 1 cup Mango, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, Jamaican jerk seasoning, green onion, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a burger patty about 1 inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the cooking oil. Once hot, place the patties in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
While the burgers are cooking, prepare the papaya mango salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced papaya, mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and salt. Toss gently to combine. Set aside.
Toast the burger buns lightly on a skillet or in a toaster until golden brown.
Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each burger bun, followed by a turkey patty. Spoon a generous amount of papaya mango salsa over the patty and top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Jamaican Jerk Turkey Burgers with Papaya Mango Salsa!
