  • Step 1

    Place bulgur in a medium bowl. Pour boiling water over it and let sit until the bulgur is softened and the water is lukewarm, about 30 minutes. Drain well through a fine mesh sieve, pressing out any excess moisture.
  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often until the onion is translucent, about 12 minutes. Scrape into a large bowl and let cool.
  • Step 3

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Step 4

    Combine the drained bulgur with the onion mixture. Add in 85% Lean / 15% Fat Ground Turkey, pine nuts, parsley, mint, salt, cinnamon, pepper and allspice. Knead together until the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Divide into 4 burgers.
  • Step 5

    Just before adding the burgers to the grill, oil the grill grates. Immediately place the burgers on the grill and let cook, undisturbed until they are browned on the bottom, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip the burgers over and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of each burger registers 165°F.
  • Step 6

    Serve the burgers on the buns with labneh, red onion, cucumber and tomatoes.
