Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 4 sesame seed sandwich rolls, split, toasted
  • 1 cup watercress or mixed spring greens
  • Seasoning:
  • 1 tablespoon tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon Caribbean jerk seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated lime peel
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
  • Combine ground beef and seasoning ingredients in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 3/4-inch thick patties. Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 13 to 14 minutes) until instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally.
  • Meanwhile combine sauce ingredients in small bowl; set aside.
  • Spread sauce on cut sides of rolls. Place a burger on bottom half of each roll; top evenly with watercress. Close sandwiches.
