The Tropical Turkey Burger served on a bed of lettuce is a refreshing twist on the classic burger. This healthier alternative has its roots in the vibrant culinary scene of the Caribbean, where fresh, tropical flavors are celebrated. Chefs in the region have long combined the lean, juicy goodness of turkey with the sweetness of pineapple, the heat of jalapenos, and the zing of cilantro to create a mouthwatering burger patty. The bed of lettuce adds a crisp, clean crunch to each bite. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in beachside restaurants and food trucks across the Caribbean. The key to getting this dish right lies in the perfect balance of flavors and the use of high-quality, fresh ingredients. For a delicious alternative, consider grilling the turkey patty and topping it with a tangy mango salsa.
