Thai Green Curry Turkey Burgers With Asian Salad

These are a wonderful light protein hit that are perfect for a BBQ or if you are more conscious of fat intake. The flavour profile of this whole dish is insane. Lots of crunch. A bit of fire. Plenty of zing. Not to mention nutritional density by the truckload. 

Ingredients:

• 400g turkey mince
• 3 heaped teaspoons of green curry paste (you can add more if you want)
• 1 large clove of garlic - finely chopped
• 1 pack of pre made ‘coleslaw mix’ (red & white cabbage, carrot etc)
• 2-3 sprigs of fresh mint leaves
• 2 handfuls of lambs lettuce
• 2 teaspoons of pomegranate fruit

For the dressing:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2-3 teaspoons of Thai fish sauce
• Juice of half a lime
• 1 teaspoon of honey

Method

Start with the burgers. Add the turkey mince, green curry paste, and garlic to a bowl. Season with a pinch of sea salt and then using your hands, squidgy all the ingredients together (that IS the technical term by the way).

Once mixed, form into burger patties and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

Whilst the burgers are cooking, assemble the salad by mixing the coleslaw mix, lambs lettuce, mint, and pomegranate together. Set aside.

Mix all the dressing ingredients together and whisk up well.

Once the burgers are cooked, dress the salad and place a generous heap of it in the centre of a plate and then place a couple of burgers around it. Prepare for lift off!!!
