Paleo Curry Turkey Burgers

I enjoy challenging myself to branch out and try something new outside of my normal sautéed protein, veggies and a side of avocado.

This recipe came about because I couldn’t decide what to have for dinner one night last week. So, I started digging. I pulled out curry powder, Chinese 5 spice and it just kind of came to me. The recipe below is what came of that creation. And it-was-DELICOUS! Enjoy!

Paleo Curry Turkey Burgers

Ingredients:

• 1/2 lb. of ground turkey meat (yields 2 palm-size burgers)

• 1 egg

• 1/4 cup almond meal

• 1 tbsp curry powder

• 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice

• 1 tsp ground ginger

• 1 tsp coconut oil (to grease pan)

• 1/2 tsp salt + 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. If mixture is too runny, add more almond meal.

2. Heat a cast iron skillet on medium-high heat and once warm, add coconut oil to cover entire surface of the pan.

3. Divide the turkey mixture into two burgers by shaping with hands

4. Carefully lay each burger into the skillet then immediately go wash your hands - because, gross.

5. Sear for 2 minutes on each side.

6. Continue flipping and flattening the burgers every 1-2 minutes on medium heat until there is no more pink (approximately 12 minutes)

7. *Optional* Place the skillet into a 350 degree pre-heated oven after searing for 10 minutes to finish vs. flip + flatten routine

8. Remove burgers from skillet, plate and enjoy! I added one last little sprinkle of sea salt on top of mine and it was divine.

Serve With:

• Asian veggie mix (broccoli, snap peas, water chestnuts, cabbage)

• Fried egg on top

• Daiya cheese

• Sliced avocado

• Curry sauce (I recommend this curry paste. Combine with coconut milk. Thank me later.)

• Sliced tomatoes

• A giant pile of spinach (my usual preference)
