Thai Curry Turkey Burgers
- 1-1/4 lb. ground turkey (not ground turkey breast)
- 2 Tbs. red or green Thai curry paste
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for the grill
- 1 medium lime
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup thinly sliced seedless cucumber
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 small shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 Tbs. seasoned rice vinegar
- 4 sesame seed hamburger buns
- Sliced tomato, for serving
- Prepare a medium gas or charcoal grill fire.
- In a medium bowl, gently mix the turkey, curry paste, and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper with your hands just until blended. Form the mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties.
- Oil the grill grate. Grill the burgers, flipping once, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers of the burgers registers 165u0b0F, 12 to 15 minutes total.
- While the burgers cook, finely grate 1 tsp. zest from the lime, then squeeze the lime to yield 1 Tbs. juice. In a small bowl, combine the zest and juice, mayonnaise, and 1/4 tsp. salt. In another small bowl, toss the cucumber with the cilantro, shallot, and vinegar.
- Toast the buns cut side down on the grill until browned and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Spread the tops and bottoms of the buns with the mayonnaise. Serve the burgers in the buns, topped with a slice of tomato and the cucumber mixture.
- Serving Suggestions
- Serve with Potato Salad with Garlic Scapes, Snap Peas, and Scallions.
