Ingredients:
3/4 c. ketchup
1 clove garlic, grated
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
3 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/4 lbs. ground turkey
1/4 c. parsley, chopped white cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions:
Heat grill or grill pan to medium high.  In a small pot over medium-low heat, combine ketchup, garlic, honey, vinegar and 2 tsp. of the soy sauce.  Bring to a simmer; cook 10 minutes.  Set aside to cool.

In a bowl, combine turkey, 1/4 c. of the barbecue sauce, the parsley and the remaining 1 tsp. of the soy sauce.  Form into 4 patties.

Lightly oil grill or grill pan.  Grill burgers for 5 minutes; flip and grill another 4 minutes, or until burgers reach 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer.  (If adding cheese, place on burger after flipped).  Grill buns 1-2 minutes, until toasted.  Serve with remaining barbecue sauce and apple-celery slaw (recipe below), if desired)
