At his Miami Beach outpost, chef Michael Mina menus global spins on American food. For this burger, he starts with leaner ground turkey and amps up the flavor with cumin, coriander and dried apricots. Guacamole and harissa aioli toppings create a Latin-Moroccan mashup that delivers lots of bold flavor. Serve these condiments on the side for calorie watchers.
