Tandoori Turkey Burgers

Hello Lovah!

There was s time when I hated ground turkey.  Every time someone would attempt to prepare a turkey burger it was always under-seasoned or too salty.  You can't treat ground turkey like you do ground beef.  Ground beef can hold its own with salt and pepper...ground turkey not so much.

Before I experimented with making my own tandoori seasonings I used a brand I found at The Crack House that came with some black rice I'd purchased. This spice blend changed the turkey burger game for me!!! I don't prepare turkey burgers any other way now. Out the park delicious.


Dress that burger with some avocado, tomato, red onions and your favorite cheese all on a toasted bun....*FAINT*


 This is definitely a Weeknight Winner!

Tandoori Turkey Burgers

What you need:

  • 1lb Ground turkey

  • 1-2 Tbsp Tandoori or Thai Spice Blend (my recipe can be found here or you can use any store bought brand)

  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil

  • 3 Garlic cloves, minced

  • Your choices of garnishes

What to do:

  • Preheat grill pan or medium skillet over medium high heat; spray pan with non-stick cooking spray

  • Combine all of the ingredients, being careful not to over mix

  • Portion four burgers

  • Grill until cooked through

  • Enjoy!

This is one that I will definitely be trying. I've failed miserably with ground turkey unless I mixed it with pork or beef. I've tried just ground turkey with ranch seasoning and it was still awful. This sounds promising. Wish me luck!
