Ingredients
- Two 12-ounce jars red-pepper relish, such as Fourth Creek Food Co.
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 pounds ground dark turkey
- 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 slice soft white bread, torn into pea-size pieces (1 cup)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons chili sauce, plus more for brushing
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 packed cups finely shredded kale
- 1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 8 brioche rolls, split
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Drain 1 jar relish in a sieve; discard liquid. Pulse 2/3 cup drained relish with onion and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; add relish mixture. Cook, stirring, until a thick paste forms, about 7 minutes. Stir in soy sauce. Transfer to a bowl; let cool 5 minutes. Stir in turkey, Worcestershire, mustard, bread, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pepper to taste. Form into 8 patties, each about 4 inches in diameter. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
- Preheat grill to medium. Brush both sides of burgers with oil, then brush grates. Grill 5 minutes. Flip; lightly brush tops with chili sauce and grill until a thermometer inserted into centers registers 165 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes more.
- Combine chili sauce and mayonnaise. Drizzle kale with vinegar and remaining teaspoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Brush cut sides of rolls with butter; grill until lightly toasted. Sandwich burgers in rolls with chili sauce mixture, remaining relish and kale.

Reviews
I initially tried this recipe with another brand’s red pepper relish, and the results were so-so. Not bad, but the flavor seemed to be lacking something. Then I ran into Fourth Creek red pepper relish at Whole Foods and decided to try the recipe again. WOW… what a difference! Absolutely delicious and an immediate family favorite. Hence, I’ll rate this recipe 5-stars with Fourth Creek relish, but maybe only 3.5 stars with the original red pepper relish I used.
