subheading: BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

We prefer to use our Grind-Your-Own Turkey Burger Blend here; however, you can substitute 1¾ pounds of ground turkey tossed with 2 tablespoons melted butter if desired. Avoid ground turkey breast (also labeled 99 percent fat-free). If green tomatoes are unavailable, you can substitute 2 plum tomatoes. Be sure to wear gloves when mincing the habanero.
