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.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment: Thai cuisine is all about balance and flavor. Feel free to adjust the ingredients and proportions to suit your own taste.
  • 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.
  • Use high heat: Thai food is typically cooked over high heat. This helps to quickly cook the food and prevent it from becoming tough or rubbery.
  • Don't overcook the food: Thai food is best when it is cooked quickly and served immediately. Overcooking can make the food tough and dry.
