Mediterranean Turkey Burger with Fig Butter

Turkey has a tendency to be a bit bland, so I like to pack it with as many other flavorful ingredients as possible. For these burgers, I added chopped sun-dried tomatoes, grated Asiago cheese, lots of dried herbs, and a generous dose of sea salt and freshly-ground pepper. Once they were grilled and resting, I toasted some Acme olive rolls and spread the top half with delicious fig butter from Trader Joe's. It may sound weird at first, but turkey and fruit is a classic combination – think cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving. 

To bulk up the meal, I made a quick side salad of greens and marinated artichokes tossed in olive oil and sparkling wine vinegar.

What on earth is fig butter? That sounds so great!

According to the label, a fruit butter must have more fruit than sugar, so the flavor is much more concentrated. It's delicious and tastes like fig purée!
