Red Curry Turkey Burgers

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Mix sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and place in fridge until ready to serve burgers.

Step 3

Mix shredded cabbage and carrots together in a microwavable safe bowl along with a few tablespoons of water.

Step 4

Cover the bowl and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes to soften the veggies. Allow them to cool to room temperature.

Step 5

Place ground turkey in a large bowl. Add garlic, red curry paste, red onion, and cilantro. Mix well to combine. Add a pinch of pepper, if desired.

Step 6

Divide turkey mixture into six equal portions and shape into patties using your hands.

Step 7

Set a nonstick, oven-safe skillet on medium heat and spray with a little olive oil or cooking spray. Once the pan is hot, add the patties and sear on both sides for 3-5 minutes, then place entire skillet in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 6-8 minutes until cooked through. If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, place patties on a baking tray instead.

Step 8

Warm the wheat pockets or buns in microwave or oven.

Step 9

To build the burger: Add 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the bottom of pocket. Layer sliced cucumber and tomato, then add the patty and top with a heaping tablespoon of the special sauce. Finish with the wilted cabbage and carrot mixture and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro to taste.
