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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the turkey burger patties.

Step 6

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).

Step 7

Toast the burger buns lightly if desired.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy your flavorful turkey curry burgers!
