A blend of spices – cumin, coriander, cloves, and cinnamon – give Indian flavor to this spicy turkey and spinach burger.
Ingredients
- 4 large unpeeled garlic cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 ¼ pounds ground turkey
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
- ½ large cucumber, sliced thin
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup Major Grey Chutney
- 4 small (4 inch) pita breads
Directions
Step 1
Set garlic in a small skillet over medium-high heat; toast until spotty brown, about 5 minutes. Peel, mince and set aside.
Step 2
Mix salt, pepper, coriander, 1/2 tsp. cumin, cinnamon and cloves in a small bowl.
Step 3
Break up turkey in a medium bowl; add garlic, spinach, spice mixture, ginger and jalapeno; stir lightly with a fork to combine. Divide turkey mixture into 4 portions. Toss meat back and forth between cupped hands to form a ball. Pat with fingertips to flatten to about 4 1/2 inches wide. Refrigerate.
Step 4
Mix cucumber, lime juice, 1/4 tsp. cumin and salt to taste in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 5
For charcoal grill: Build a hot fire on one side of grill. Replace rack. When coals are covered with white ash, add burgers. Cover and cook, turning only once, until done, about 5 minutes per side.
Step 6
Grill pitas until spotty brown and warm, a minute or so per side. Split crosswise. Place a burger on each of 4 pita halves. Top with cucumbers and chutney, then remaining pita halves.
