Ingredients

Uncooked ground turkey dark meat

24 oz

Apple

0.5 medium

Mango chutney

2 tbsp(s)

Uncooked scallions

1 medium

Garlic

2 clove(s), large

Cilantro

0.25 cup(s)

Soy sauce

1 tbsp(s)

Curry powder

0.5 tsp(s)

1 tsp(s)

4 spray(s)

Instructions

1

Place the turkey in a large bowl, cover with a dish towel, and let come to room temperature while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

2

In a food processor, combine the apple, mango chutney, scallion, garlic, cilantro, soy sauce, curry powder, chipotle , and salt and process until smooth. Add the mixture to the turkey and mix thoroughly to combine. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each into a loose ball. Pat lightly to flatten the meat into burgers about 3/4 inch thick.

3

Heat a large, heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Spray with a thin layer of oil and add the burgers. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes, then flip the burgers, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook for about 6 minutes, until browned on the bottom and cooked through. Remove from the pan and serve.

4

While the burgers are cooking, place the split pretzel buns on the grill cut side down to toast them (or toast them in a toaster). Remove the buns from the grill, sandwich the burgers into the buns, and add your choice of condiments.
