Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken or turkey
- 0.5 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, finely grated
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 burger buns
- optional toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, yogurt-based sauce)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken or turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro.
Add the plain breadcrumbs and egg to the mixture. Using your hands or a spatula, mix until all the ingredients are fully combined.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a burger patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the burger patties to the skillet.
Cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are golden brown on both sides.
While the patties are cooking, optionally toast the burger buns in a dry skillet or under the broiler for a warm, slightly crispy texture.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on the buns and adding your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and a refreshing yogurt-based sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Curried Chicken or Turkey Burgers!
