Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 Tbsp mustard seeds
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 Tbsp plus 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 5 Tbsp mango chutney, mashed if chunky, divided
  • 3 tsp curry powder, divided
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 7 Tbsp chopped green onion tops, divided
  • 7 Tbsp chopped fresh mint, divided
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped Granny Smith apple
  • Cooking spray
  • 4 (5"-6") pita breads
  • Shredded romaine lettuce
DIRECTIONS:

In a frying pan over medium heat, add mustard seeds and toast until seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Transfer seeds to a medium bowl. Add applesauce, 1 tablespoon yogurt, 2 tablespoons chutney, 2 teaspoons curry powder, salt and cayenne and stir to combine. Add turkey, 4 tablespoons green onions, and 4 tablespoons mint. Shape into 4 (3/4”) thick patties.

In a small bowl, combine apple, remaining 3/4 cup yogurt, remaining 3 tablespoons chutney, remaining 1 teaspoon curry powder, remaining 3 tablespoons green onions, and remaining 3 tablespoons mint.

Set grill to medium-high heat. Using tongs and a wad of paper towel dipped in oil, lightly coat grill. Grill turkey burgers until cooked through and an internal meat thermometer registers 165°, about 5 minutes per side. Cut 1 end off each pita; fill with 1 burger, some lettuce and 1/4 of apple-yogurt mixture.
