Staying home has forced me to search out new recipes. Back in January, I posted about a set of cookbooks I came across from Danielle Kartes. I feel a connection with her because she uses food to bring together those she loves. That’s what I like to do too! This time I was looking for something healthy and fresh tasting. I love using fresh herbs to cook and the fresh dill and yogurt sauce is the perfect accompaniment to go with these turkey burgers. It’s important to make the dill sauce ahead of time as it needs to set in the refrigerator awhile. You’ll find that you will have extra dill sauce which can later accompany grilled salmon for another meal.
Ingredients
- 1lb gound ground turkey
- 1 cup of rinsed & drained canned chickpeas coarsely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Serve with Pita Bread
Topping suggestions: lettuce, tomato slices, kalamata olives, sliced red onion, sliced cucumbers, & crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Combine all ingredients except the toppings in a mixing bowl. Mix with a fork and form into eight medium size patties. Cook over medium heat in an oiled skillet until golden brown on both sides.
Serve with the pita bread and top with your favorite toppings and dill sauce.
Dill Sauce
- 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Mix all ingredients and let set in refrigerator for at least an hour
I found this to be a light supper, even with using all the toppings. It will not leave you feeling guilty because all the ingredients are so fresh!
I never thought pf combining chick peas with turkey but this looks like a winning combo. And it’s super easy! Another great recipe to try once I can get these ingredients.
I know you eat healthy all the time. I’m sure you have a few fabulous recipes of your own. Let me know if you get the chance to give this one a try.
