Here is how you make Cracked Black Peppercorn Crusted Turkey Burgers:

To help prevent sticking, either rub a little vegetable oil on the grill or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Now, fire up the grill or get your grill pan nice and hot!! If you do not have a grill or grill pan, a cast iron skillet works nicely. We're looking for plenty of heat for searing, but not so much that the outside will be charred and the middle of the burger is raw... That's no fun. When I use a grill pan indoors, I heat over med - med high heat on a standard electric range (I have cooktop coils, not a glass top).In large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, ketchup, onions, green peppers, and chopped tomatoes. DO NOT OVERMIX as this will give a grainy texture to this low-fat meat. Once combined, portion into 4 - 1/4 lbs burger patties, and flatten to about 1/2" thickness. Pour crushed peppercorns onto a large dinner plate in a relatively even layer, and crust the burger patties by laying patty directly onto peppercorns (do not apply additional pressure at this point), then flipping patty and reapplying the opposite side onto peppercorns. Once the patties have been crusted, gently apply a little pressure on either side of the patty to ensure the peppercorns are "attached" to minimize loss in the grilling process. Now, apply to burgers to grill. Once the burgers are on the grill, leave them be and let them cook for 7-10 minutes per side. Cooking time will vary depending on your grill (charcoal or gas/propane) or cooktop (gas or electric). This cooking time is a guideline, not a commandment. :) While the burgers are cooking, this is a great time to get the buns ready for serving. Open you hamburger buns and apply about 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1 leaf of arugula, and 1 slice of tomato to each. Once the burgers are well done, stack burger, arugula, and tomato appropriately between the buns. Eat, enjoy!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user GROOVYDADDY.
