Grilled Turkey Sliders with Tomato Jam

• 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey (not lean)
• 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 shallot, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Olive oil, for greasing grill grates
• 12 slider rolls
• Romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
• Tomato Jam, recipe follows
• 1 pound plum tomatoes, cored and chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. Mix the ground turkey, ricotta, mustard, shallot, basil, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
3. Form into 12 small 1/2-inch thick patties.
4. Brush the grill grates with olive oil with a clean tea towel to keep the turkey from sticking.
5. Grill the patties for 4 minutes, and then flip and continue to cook the other side for another 3 minutes.
6. Place the rolls on the warmer rack to toast during the last 3 minutes of grilling.
7. To assemble burgers, place a patty between the buns and top with lettuce and Tomato Jam.
8. Cook's Note: Adding the ricotta cheese to the turkey burger mixture helps to keep it moist and flavorful without adding a lot of fat.
9. Add all the ingredients to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
10. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have dissolved and what remains is a thick jam-like consistency, about 1 hour.
11. Cool before serving.
12. The jam can be stored in an airtight mason jar for up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.
13. Cook's Note: This is a great recipe to double up on when tomatoes are at their ripest and best during the summer months.
