THAI INSPIRED TURKEY BURGERS (LOW FAT)



Thai Inspired Turkey Burgers (Low Fat) image

This is my latest concoction in my mission to bring healthier food to my household. Over the past few weeks I have been using Fridays to try out different versions of healthier burgers. Tonight we had these Thai inspired turkey burgers. They had a fresh taste and I think it is important to use the fresh versions of the ingredients rather than dried spices to get that taste. I had mine on a bun with some crisp lettuce and some fat free mayo and ketchup. I bet they would be really nice with some sweet chili sauce in place of the ketchup and mayo though. These could easily be made up and frozen raw to have ready when short of time. Cooking time includes chilling time.

  • Use a wok: A wok is a traditional Thai cooking utensil that is perfect for stir-frying and other quick-cooking dishes. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead.
