Fab Friday – Turkey Burger Recipe

Hey Chicks!

So one of my new favourite things for summer are Turkey Burgers! I honestly can’t get enough of them, especially when topped with goat cheese, avocado and roasted red peppers. Yummy!

Trying to still keep it interesting in the kitchen, since variety is the spice of life,  I have found a new recipe that I wanted to share with y’all for some super fab, filling and fresh burgers. It’s from the website www.jerseybites.com – enjoy, Chicks!

Turkey Burgers with Curried Mayo

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound ground turkey

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 Tbs. lemon juice

1/2 red onion, finely diced

1 tsp. garlic powder

Whole Wheat Pita Pockets or Rolls

Curried Mayonnaise (see below)

DIRECTIONS:

Mix ground turkey, salt, cilantro, chilli powder, cumin, lemon juice, onion and garlic powder.  Form into 4 patties.

Preheat a skillet with a tablespoon or two of olive oil until hot. (I love my cast iron skillet for this job.)  Cook until the internal temp is 165 degrees.

Feel free to augment this recipe with any toppings you like but it really doesn’t need much. The curried Mayo is wonderful.

Curried Mayonnaise

1/4 cup Mayo

1 approximate Tablespoon of Hot Madras Curry (or regular curry)

Squeeze of Lemon juice

These are approximate measurements. Be sure to taste and adjust to your liking.

If you want to make this recipe low in carbs – have it on a lettuce wrap

If you want to lower the fat content – omit the mayo and top with your fave salsa instead.

I am having these tonight for dinner – keep me posted if you give them a try 🙂

Also, if you have any new recipes for me to try out to keep things fresh with my love of the turkey please send away!
