Time 1h7m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces (es)
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream
1 tablespoon reduced-calorie margarine
1/8 teaspoon table salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup onion (chopped)
2 medium carrots (diced)
2 medium celery ribs, diced
1 lb uncooked ground turkey breast
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups canned chicken broth or 2 cups beef broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Place potatoes in a large saucepan and pour in enough water to cover potatoes. Set pan over high heat and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain potatoes, transfer to a large bowl and add sour cream and margarine; mash until smooth, season to taste with salt and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots and celery; cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add turkey and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks, about 5 minutes. Add flour, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper; stir to coat. Add broth and bring to a simmer; simmer until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • For a more authentic Thai flavor, use authentic Thai curry paste. If not available, a combination of yellow curry powder and red curry powder can be substituted.
  • To make the burgers more moist, add some panko breadcrumbs or grated vegetables like carrots or zucchini to the ground turkey.
  • Don't overcook the burgers. They should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and avocado. A spicy mayo or Thai sweet chili sauce is also a great addition.

Conclusion:

These Thai Turkey Burgers are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy a classic burger. They're packed with flavor and have a nice kick of heat. Plus, they're Weight Watchers friendly, so you can enjoy them without guilt. Serve them on toasted buns with your favorite toppings for a complete meal.
