    23. Curried Turkey Burgers - Top

    From Bon Appétit, July 1997

    A new take on the standard turkey burger.

    1 tablespoon mustard seeds
    1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
    1 tablespoon plus 3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
    5 tablespoons mango chutney, mashed if chunky
    3 teaspoons curry powder
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1 pound extra-lean ground turkey breast meat
    7 tablespoons chopped green onion tops
    7 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
    1/4 cup chopped tart green apple
    Nonstick vegetable oil spray
    4 5- to 6-inch-diameter pita breads
    Chopped lettuce

    Shake mustard seeds in medium skillet over low heat until seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Transfer seeds to bowl. Mix in applesauce, 1 tablespoon yogurt, 2 tablespoons chutney, 2 teaspoons curry powder, salt and cayenne. Mix in turkey, 4 tablespoons onion tops and 4 tablespoons mint. Shape into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.

    Mix apple, 3/4 cup yogurt, 3 tablespoons chutney, 3/4 teaspoon curry powder, 3 tablespoons onion tops and 3 tablespoons mint in small bowl.
    Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Spray burgers with nonstick spray; grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Cut 1 end off each pita; fill with 1 burger, some lettuce and 1/4 of yogurt mixture.
