Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

300g (2/3 lb.) ground turkey
4 spring onions, 2 finely chopped, 2 sliced
1 red chile, deseeded and finely chopped, plus extra slices
A small chunk of fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 free-range egg yolk
1/4 of a bunch of fresh cilantro, leaves chopped
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 whole wheat pita breads
30g (about 1 cup) watercress
1 tomato, sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix the turkey, chopped spring onion, chopped chile, ginger, egg yolk, and most of the cilantro until fully combined, then use your hands to form two burger patties.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat until melted. Fry the burgers for 5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Toast the pita and carefully slice open. Stuff with the watercress and place a burger in each. Finish with the sliced chile, remaining cilantro, sliced spring onion, and sliced tomato, if using.

These burgers were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I'll probably try making them again with less chili pepper next time.

I thought these burgers were just okay. The flavor was good, but they were a little too dry for my taste.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've made it with ground chicken and ground pork, and it's always delicious.

These burgers were a little dry, but they were still tasty. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time, maybe by using a different type of breadcrumb or by adding some chopped vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of turkey burgers, but these were actually really good. The Thai spices gave them a nice kick and they were cooked perfectly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burgers fell apart when I tried to flip them. Maybe I need to cook them for longer on the first side before flipping.

These burgers were easy to make and they tasted great. I served them with a side of sweet potato fries and they were a perfect summer meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the burgers turned out perfectly. They were cooked through but still moist, and the flavors were amazing.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey instead of beef. It's a healthier option, but it's still just as delicious.

These turkey burgers were a hit at our last cookout! They were so flavorful and juicy, and the Thai spices gave them a nice kick. We'll definitely be making these again.
