Thai Inspired Turkey Burgers (Low Fat)

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemongrass, chopped up
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, chopped
• 1/3 cup green onion, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes
• 1 lime, zest of, only
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 lb lean ground turkey
• 1 egg white

Directions

1. 1

   Put the lemongrass, garlic, ginger, green onions, cilantro, chili flakes and lime zest into a food processor or chopper along with the water and blitz them until they are finely chopped and combined.

2. 2

   Add the mixture to the turkey and also put in the egg white.

3. 3

   Mix the turkey and the other ingredients together by hand until they are well combined.

4. 4

   Put into the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes for them to firm up a bit.

5. 5

   Take out of the fridge and shape into four equal sized burger patties.

6. 6

   Then either fry them off in a pan as you would normally do or do as I do and brush them very lightly with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and cook them on a Foreman type grill. It takes about 8 minutes or so for them to be fully cooked.

7. 7

   Serve.
