This recipe uses some of the same techniques and seasonings as the shish kebab to improve the dull turkey burger. For something made with meat that is 95% fat free this is pretty good!

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds ground turkey
1 ½ tablespoons plain bread crumbs
1 ½ tablespoons ground almonds
1 teaspoon chile paste
2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1 ½ teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger

  • Combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, almonds, chili paste, garlic, ginger, salt, garam masala, lemon juice, yogurt, and cilantro; mix thoroughly with a spatula or clean hands.
  • Shape ground turkey mixture into a ball and divide in 4 even pieces; refrigerate for 1 hour. Form each piece into a patty with damp hands.
  • Preheat grill to medium heat and refrigerate turkey burger patties until the grill is hot.

I followed the recipe exactly and my burgers turned out dry and flavorless. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These burgers were a little dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more moisture next time, maybe some grated zucchini or chopped onion.

I'm not a big fan of turkey burgers, but these were surprisingly good. The chipotle mayonnaise really made them.

These burgers were delicious! I used ground chicken instead of turkey and they were still very moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.
