Directions
For sauce, combine jelly, barbecue sauce, pepper sauce and vinegar in small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook 5-7 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Reserve 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the sauce for burgers. Pour remaining sauce into (1-cup/250-mL) Prep Bowl and cool 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, for burgers, combine turkey, reserved sauce, green onions, garlic, salt and black pepper; mix gently but thoroughly. Form into four round patties, about 1/2 in. (1 cm) thick. Pour remaining sauce into BBQ Basting Bottle.
Prepare grill for direct cooking over medium coals. Place patties on grid of grill. Grill, covered, 5-6 minutes. Turn burgers and baste with half of the sauce. Grill 2-3 minutes; turn and baste with remaining sauce. Grill an additional 2-3 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in center. Serve burgers on buns.
