Tasty Recipe: Moroccan Spiced Turkey Burgers

Just thought I'd post a recipe I made for dinner tonight. They were quite tasty and even got a 9.5 (out of 10) on Daren's exacting scale. I think they would also be good with ground chicken breast or ground lamb (if you have the $$$$).

Turkey Burger
2 lbs. ground turkey breast
1 TB cumin
1/2 tsp tumeric
1 tsp paprika
1/2 TB ground coriander
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 TB curry powder
1/2 onion grated
1 garlic clove, chopped
Cilantro
Zest/Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt & Pepper

Combine all the ingredients and mix well. Form mixture into 4 large patties. Drizzle patties with olive oil and place on preheated grill or grill pan (or I used a George Foreman and it worked quite well). Grill for 6 minutes on each side until cooked thru. Place patties in pita bread and spoon on yogurt sauce(see below).

Yogurt Sauce
Plain Lowfat Yogurt
Curry Powder (to taste)
Cumin (to taste)
Salt (to taste)
Cayenne (to taste)
Coriander (to taste)
Cucumber, chopped

Whisk ingredients together and put aside.
