Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
Kosher salt
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup tikka masala sauce
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 sesame hamburger buns, toasted
1/3 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes, adding the peas in the last 1 minute of cooking. Drain the potatoes and peas; reserve the saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, toss the red onion, vinegar, 2 tablespoons water and a big pinch of salt in a bowl; set aside. Mix the turkey with 1/4 cup tikka masala sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Shape into four 1/4-inch-thick patties. Put on the prepared baking sheet; spread with the remaining 1/4 cup tikka masala sauce. Broil until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in the reserved saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin, then add the potatoes and peas. Cook, stirring, until hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/3 cup cilantro; season with salt.
  • Drain the red onion. Serve the burgers on the buns with the mayonnaise and red onion. Serve with the potatoes and peas.

TIKKA TURKEY BURGERS



Tikka Turkey Burgers image

These Indian-inspired burgers are made with lean ground turkey and flavoured with tikka paste and yogurt. If you have the time, make these burgers a few hours in advance, which will allow the flavours to marinate the meat. Serve the burgers in halved baby naan breads with some baby spinach leaves and a spoonful of tzatziki. These burgers can be frozen. Open-freeze the patties on a tray lined with greaseproof paper until firm, then pack into labelled containers or freezer bags and freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost thoroughly in the fridge before cooking.
