Thai Curry Turkey Burgers (Recipe)

Thai Curry Turkey Burgers

11 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 cup thinly sliced seedless cucumber

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves

1 small shallot, thinly sliced

1 Tbs. seasoned rice vinegar

4 sesame seed hamburger buns sliced tomato, for serving

1. Prepare a medium gas or charcoal grill fire.

2. In a medium bowl, gently mix the turkey, curry paste, and

1 tsp. each salt and pepper with your hands just until blended. Form the mixture into four 1-inch-thick patties.

3. Oil the grill grate. Grill the burgers, flipping once, until an instant read thermometer inserted into the centers of the burgers registers 165°F, 12 to 15 minutes total.

4. 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 tsp. salt. In another small bowl, toss the cucumber with the cilantro, shallot, and vinegar.

5. Place the buns cut side down on the grill and toast until browned and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

6. 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.
