For the Caramelized Onions and Peppers

For the Turkey Burgers

  • Sprinkle a little bit of smoked paprika and cumin on both patties and set aside. Heat a cast iron to medium-high and add oil and swirl it around so it coats the cast iron. Fry patties for 7-10 minutes on each side until the burger is cooked through and reaches 165F internally. Remove from heat and smear the patties with mango chutney. Set aside.

For the Shawarma Pitas

  • Assemble pitas. Lightly toast the pitas then smear the Herbed Feta Yogurt Sauce on the inside of each pita. Stuff the glazed turkey burger into each patty and top with the caramelized peppers and onions and cilantro. Serve immediately or wrap in tinfoil and serve within the hour.
