Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread, 2 slices torn into small pieces
1 pound lean ground turkey (7% fat)
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
4 tablespoons prepared mango chutney, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chili powder
Coarse salt
Mesclun lettuce mix
1 medium tomato, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. In a medium bowl, mix together bread pieces, turkey, sour cream, 3 tablespoons chutney, 1 tablespoon mustard, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon coarse salt.
  • Shape mixture into four 5-inch round patties. Broil on a rimmed baking sheet until firm and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  • Meanwhile, lightly toast remaining 4 slices bread; transfer to serving plates. Top each slice with lettuce, burger, and tomato. Stir together remaining tablespoon chutney and mustard; serve alongside burgers.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ground turkey that is at least 85% lean.
  • Add your favorite seasonings to the ground turkey to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
  • Use a food processor to finely chop the vegetables for the burgers. This will help them to blend in with the ground turkey and create a more cohesive burger.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the vegetables by hand. Just be sure to grate them finely so that they don't overpower the turkey.
  • Be careful not to overcook the burgers. Turkey burgers are best cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the burgers on your favorite buns with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and avocado.

Conclusion:

Spiced turkey burgers are a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional beef burgers. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a little creativity, you can create a unique and flavorful turkey burger that will be a hit at your next cookout or dinner party.
