Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1.5 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 burger buns
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 4 tomato slices
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, diced onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, curry powder, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, breadcrumbs, and the beaten egg.
Use clean hands or a spatula to mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense burgers.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 1/2 inch thick. Place the patties on a plate or tray and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
While the patties chill, make the yogurt sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir well, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the turkey burger patties.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should read 165°F using a meat thermometer).
Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a spoonful of the yogurt sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a cooked turkey patty, a tomato slice, and the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy your flavorful turkey curry burgers!
