Recipe type: Main, Poultry
Makes: 4
Ingredients
2 Tbsp (30 mL) margarine, butter or cooking oil
¼ cup (60 mL) finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp (10 mL) fish sauce
1 tsp (5 mL) Thai curry paste (red or green)
1 lb (454 g) ground turkey
½ cup (125 mL) finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp (30 mL) low-fat mayonnaise
Instructions
Melt margarine or butter, or heat oil, in a small, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in fish sauce and curry paste, until the vegetables are well-coated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine cooled onion mixture, ground turkey, cilantro and low-fat mayo. Shape into 4 patties.
Grill or broil burgers, turning once, until done, about 8 minutes. Serve on whole wheat hamburger buns with your favourite toppings.
Notes
Turn this into a party appetizer by shaping into 12 mini patties served on whole grain slider buns, or meatballs.
