Thai Inspired Turkey Burgers (Low Fat)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemongrass, chopped up
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
- 1/3 cup green onion, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
- 1 lime, zest of, only
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1 egg white
- Put the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, green onions, cilantro, chili flakes and lime zest into a food processor or chopper along with the water and blitz them until they are finely chopped and combined.
- Add the mixture to the turkey and also put in the egg white.
- Mix the turkey and the other ingredients together by hand until they are well combined.
- Put into the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes for them to firm up a bit.
- Take out of the fridge and shape into four equal sized burger patties.
- Then either fry them off in a pan as you would normally do or do as I do and brush them very lightly with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and cook them on a Foreman type grill. It takes about 8 minutes or so for them to be fully cooked.
- Serve.
