Apple-Turkey-Curry Burger




This is an interesting take on a burger. Best of all it's low-fat with ground turkey! This burger is so full of flavor you don't even need mayonnaise, ketchup, or any of the other condiments you would normally put on a burger.

Ingredients:
1 Tbs mustard seeds
3 Tbs applesauce
1 Tbs plain yogurt
2 1/2 Tbs mango chutney
2 tsp curry powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 lb ground turkey breast
1-2 chopped scallions
1 tsp dried mint
3-4 Tbs peeled and freshly grated apple (Granny Smith)
Lettuce and sliced tomatoes
Hamburger buns

Put the mustard seeds in a frying pan over medium heat. Shake the pan over the heat until the seeds start to pop.

Transfer the seeds to a medium mixing bowl. Add the applesauce, yogurt, chutney, curry powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir. Add the turkey, scallions, mint, and apple. Mix together till just mixed. The consistency will be soft, but you should be able to shape into four patties.

Spray a frying pan with non-stick cooking spray and cook on medium to medium-low heat until cooked through. If the outside starts to blacken, turn down the heat. You can also grill the patties. Serve on a hamburger bun with lettuce and tomato.
