Turkey Burgers
1 lb Ground Turkey
1 Large Zucchini, Coarsely Grated
3 Green Onions, Thinly Sliced
1 Large Free-Range Egg
2 Tbsp Chopped Mint
2 Tbsp Chopped Cilantro
2 Cloves Garlic, Crushed
1 Tsp Ground Cumin
1 Tsp Salt
½ Tsp Freshly Ground Pepper
½ Tsp Cayenne Pepper
6 ½ Tbsp Sunflower Oil for Searing
Sour Cream & Sumac Sauce
½ Cup Sour Cream
2/3 Cup Greek Yogurt
1 Tsp Grated Lemon Zest
1 Tbsp Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 Small Garlic Clove, Crushed
1 ½ Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Sumac
½ Tsp Salt
¼ Tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Preparation
Set oven to 425F
Make the sumac sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing well. Refrigerate until needed. Thin with a little water if you like a thinner sauce.
Put all the burger ingredients, except the oil, in a large bowl Mix well, using your hands, making sure to get all the ingredients well incorporated, but don’t over-work the meat…use a light touch!
Form the meat mixture into patties. I used a 1/3 cup as a measure, and made about 9 burgers. (You can make your burgers as large or small as you like, but will need to adjust the cooking time.) Note that the mixture will be very wet. Don’t worry, they will firm up as they cook.
Coat the bottom of a skillet lightly with oil and heat until it is nice and hot. You should hear a good sizzle when the patties hit the pan, If not, let the oil heat more. Working in batches, brown the patties on both sides, for about 2 minutes per side, and add more oil as needed.
Set the burgers on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 7 to 10 minutes, just until done inside.
Serve the burgers with the sauce.
