Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces slices of tomato
• 0 optional toppings (e.g., sliced onions, cucumber, or additional yogurt)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, curry powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, plain Greek yogurt, and chopped fresh cilantro. Use clean hands or a spatula to gently mix everything together until just combined.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Ensure the patties are uniform in size for even cooking.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the turkey patties to the pan.

Step 4

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and are golden brown on the outside.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns and lightly toast them if desired.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked turkey patty. Top with a slice of tomato and any additional toppings, such as sliced onions, cucumber, or a dollop of yogurt. Place the top half of the bun on each burger.

Step 7

Serve the Curry Turkey Burgers immediately while warm. Enjoy!
