Servings 4
Author Eric Lundy

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 1-1/2 pounds ground turkey
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 5 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free curry powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Oil, for greasing
  • 4 leaves butter lettuce
  • 4 gluten-free hamburger buns (we like Canyon Bakehouse)
  • 1 recipe Green Apple–Apricot Chutney (below) or Major Grey’s mango chutney (optional)
  • 4 to 8 tomato slices, depending on size

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, 1/2 tablespoon of the lemon juice, 1/2 tablespoon of the cilantro, and the sugar. Set aside the yogurt sauce.
  2. Preheat the grill or a heavy pan over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, egg, green onions, curry powder, salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and 2 teaspoons cumin. Mix well, then form into 4 patties.
  3. Lightly oil the grill or stovetop grill pan and grill the burgers on one side until mostly cooked, 6 to 8 minutes, then flip and grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes longer.
  4. Place 1 lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Top each with 2 tablespoons of chutney, some sliced tomato, a burger, a dollop of yogurt sauce, and the bun top and serve.
